Documents submitted to US regulators on Wednesday showed that Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley collectively purchased over $600 million worth of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the second quarter. Goldman Sachs stated in its 13-F filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that it bought around $418 million in several recently launched ETFs linked to the spot price of Bitcoin. Most of it was in the iShares Bitcoin Trust IBIT, holding nearly 7 million shares valued at around $238 million as of the end of this quarter (June 30). In addition, Goldman Sachs also holds a significant stake in Fidelity Wise Origin (FBTC) under Fidelity. Morgan Stanley also favors BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin ETF, disclosing its ownership of 5.5 million shares valued at $188 million.
