The U.S.’s multinational investment bank, Morgan Stanley, added over 2 million shares of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) in Q3. Total holdings now stand at over 8 million shares.The addition is coming at a time when GBTC has been facing competition from Bitcoin фючърсни ETF.

SEC filings by leading global investment bank and wealth management firm, Morgan Stanley reveal it has increased its Bitcoin exposure in Q3 through Grayscale Bitcoin Доверие (GBTC).

Фирмата направи това известно чрез подаването си за тримесечието в SEC, където отбеляза фондовете, добавили акции на GBTC. Сред тях бяха неговият Growth Portfolio Fund, който добави 1.5 милиона акции, неговият Insight Fund, който добави близо 600,000 500,000 акции, и Global Opportunity Portfolio, който добави около XNUMX XNUMX акции.

More than 30 other funds managed by Morgan Stanley also showed percentage increases in their Bitcoin exposure. Their combined holding addition was over 2 million shares. These additions bring their total holdings to over 8 million shares and help them solidify their position as one of the largest investors in GBTC along with Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest.

Although Morgan Stanley has not made direct purchase of Bitcoin, it has been open to cryptocurrency for a while. It became the first U.S bank to provide its clients access to Bitcoin funds back in March. In other SEC filings, the bank has been consistent with its addition of exposure to Bitcoin. In June, Morgan Stanley revealed that it bought 28,289 GBTC shares worth $1.3 million through its Europe Opportunity Fund, though that was a relatively small investment compared with today’s filings.

The filing in August also indicated that the bank increased its indirect exposure to Bitcoin by buying more than one million Grayscale Bitcoin Trust shares, which were worth around $40 million at the time. 

The investment bank has been investing in crypto firms as well. In January, it invested $500 million in MicroStrategy. It has followed up with investments in other funds including Galaxy Digital, and also a fund by a joint effort with Bitcoin company NYDIG and asset manager FS Investments.

Проблемите на Grayscale могат да бъдат решени чрез конвертиране в ETF

Анализаторите отбелязват, че подаването идва в критичен момент за GBTC, който се бори от известно време. Фондът е изправен пред конкуренция от новия Bitcoin futures ETFs that were launched last month и в момента се търгува с около 11% отстъпка.

Въпреки това, Grayscale plans to convert the fund into a spot-settled Bitcoin ETF and has applied with the SEC to do so. While the application awaits approval like the rest of its kind, the market remains optimistic for Bitcoin adoption despite the price of Bitcoin struggling in the market. Bitcoin is currently trading at about $57,287, down 17% in the last 14 days.
