The US banking giant Morgan Stanley has recently revealed massive investments into the US Spot Bitcoin ETF in the second quarter of 2024. In the latest SEC filing, the banking behemoth disclosed that it held 5,500,626 shares of BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust as of June end, which was worth around $190 million.

Morgan Stanley Reveals Massive Bitcoin ETF Investments
The latest Morgan Stanley’s SEC filing showed that the leading banking firm has invested heavily into Bitcoin ETF through BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). The 13F filing showed that the bank holds around 5.5 million shares of IBIT, valued at $187.79 million as of June 30. This marks a new position for the banking giant, putting it on the top five holders list of IBIT.
Meanwhile, the decision to allocate such a massive part of its portfolio to Bitcoin through this ETF reflects the bank’s confidence in the crypto’s future potential. Besides, it also aligns with a broader trend among institutional investors who are shifting focus towards Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and market uncertainties.
In addition, the recent disclosure comes a day after Goldman Sachs, another banking behemoth, revealed a substantial investment into Bitcoin ETF. According to their 13F filing, Goldman Sachs holds around 7 million iShares Bitcoin Trust and 1.5 million Fidelity’s FBTC shares. The timing of these latest disclosures from two of the leading financial institutions reflects the increasing focus on Bitcoin in traditional finance.
