The "BTC" asset on BitShares markets is the same kind of smart contract (SmartCoin) as for "GOLD", it's a smart CFD. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contract_for_difference
The "TRADE.BTC" and "OPENBTC" assets are UIA from gateway, they are redeemable for real BTC.

So if you want to withdraw BTC from your wallet you need to exchange your 0.203 BTC (SmartCoin) for BTC UIA from a gateway (OPENBTC or TRADE.BTC).
Then you can go to (Deposit / Withdraw) in your account to withdraw your BTC.

TLDR; Go to https://bitshares.openledger.info/#/exchange/trade/TRADE.BTC_BTC - SELL your BTC for TRADE.BTC - Withdraw
