According to ChainCatcher, on-chain data from Arkham shows that Morgan Stanley has once again 'bought the dip.' The investment bank spent $15.05 million to acquire approximately 232.548 bitcoins through its spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund, MSBT. With this latest addition, Morgan Stanley's total bitcoin holdings have surpassed 6,500 for the first time, reaching 6,563 BTC. Those holdings are valued at more than $426 million. The word 'again' in the report implies that Morgan Stanley has previously increased its bitcoin exposure during market dips, though specifics of those earlier purchases were not included. Arkham, an on-chain data platform, identified the transaction via blockchain monitoring. The purchase highlights the growing role of spot bitcoin ETFs as a way for institutional investors to gain exposure to digital assets. It also shows that major traditional financial firms continue to accumulate bitcoin when prices are weak. No further details about the transaction, such as the exact execution time or price, were disclosed by ChainCatcher.
