Why Morgan Stanley is gaining exposure to Bitcoin (BTC)?
In yet another bullish announcement for Bitcoin this week, banking giant Morgan Stanley has filed a document with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to gain exposure to BTC. Per the document, 12 of Morgan Stanley’s investment funds will allocate capital in BTC financial products.
Morgan Stanley’s investment funds eligible to gain indirect exposure to Bitcoin include Counterpoint Global Portfolio, managed by Dennis Lynch, Asia Opportunity Portfolio, Growth Portfolio, Inception Portfolio, International Advantage Portfolio, among others.
The funds will be able to invest in Bitcoin futures contracts settled in cash or Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) shares of the Grayscale firm. Investment in BTC will not have to be ongoing and will be made through a subsidiary that will operate as an exempted company governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands.
The Morgan Stanley Institutional Small Co. Inception Portfolio fund was among the top gainers among mutual funds over the past two weeks having exposure to videogame retailer GameStop, data from Refinitiv Lipper showed.
