Goldman Sachs has disclosed $418 million holdings in spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), signalling a growing institutional appetite for Bitcoin exposure.
In a quarterly filing, the Wall Street titan revealed investments in 7 different Bitcoin ETFs available in the U.S. market. Its largest position was in BlackRockâs iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), worth nearly $240 million.
Goldman also held shares of the $79.5 million Fidelity Bitcoin ETF, $35.1 million in Grayscale BTC, $56.1 million in Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin, $8.3 million in Bitwise Bitcoin ETF, and smaller stakes in funds from WisdomTree, Ark Invest.
The disclosure highlights surging institutional demand for Bitcoin products as Bitcoin gains mainstream adoption. With its sizable and diverse Bitcoin ETF holdings, Goldman aims to benefit from Bitcoinâs upside potential without direct ownership.
Earlier this year, Goldman Sachsâ head of digital assets called Bitcoin ETFs an âastonishing success,â signalling a pivot after years of the Wall Street giantâs scepticism about Bitcoin.
As legacy finance gradually embraces Bitcoin, Bitcoin ETFs have become a prime gateway for institutional participation. ETFs offer familiarity and liquidity while muting Bitcoinâs volatility swings.
Eventually, most major financial institutions will likely hold significant Bitcoin exposure to meet client demand. Goldmanâs Bitcoin ETF bet signals an understanding that Bitcoin is here to stay.
