Goldman Sachs’ Bitcoin ETF holds to $ 1.5 billion
Macroscope (@Macroscope17) drew attention first to presentationWith the highlight of how “Goldman” was $ 1.27 billion (IBIT) (IBIT) was worth $ 1.27 billion (24,077,861 shares) … an increase of 88 % “in its share in ISHares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) from Blackrock compared to the previous quarter. The bank also strengthened its allocation to the wise Bitcoin Fund in Fidelity (FBTC) by 105 %, which reaches this position to about 288 million dollars (3,530,486 shares).
Besides these basic holdings ETF, Goldman was $ 3.6 million in BTC TRUST (GBTC) with closing or reducing smaller situations in other BTC boxes, including those offered by ARK 21Shares (ARKB), Bitwise (BitB), Grayscale (Trust Mini), Investco Galaxy (BTCO), and Wisdomtree (BTCW).
Besides its direct shares, the company has taken great options sites. Macroscope has noticed that the deposit revealed that IBIT is worth $ 157 million and puts Ibit and FBTC at a value of $ 527 million and $ 84 million, respectively. These strategies indicate that Goldman hedges the potential downside while maintaining the chance of taking advantage of any BTC prices.
Bitcoin was not the only beneficiary of Goldman’s growing coding appetite. The bank also exposed it to the circulating investment funds focusing on ETHEREUM from $ 22 million to about $ 476 million in the fourth quarter, which represents an increase of about 19 times. This shift spread between Fidelity’s Ethereum Fund (FUTH) in the amount of $ 234.7 million and Blackrock’s Ishares Ethereum Trust (Etha) at $ 235.5 million, with a smaller stake in ETHE.

The bullish tendency of Koldman is compatible with the increasing interest among the major financial institutions in digital assets. It seems that the bank, which has first fought in Bitcoin’s investment funds in mid -2014, is now ready to deepen its participation, supported by continuous prices and what many observers see as a more constructive organizational environment.
With Bitcoin reaching the highest level of $ 109,000 before the American presidential opening period, the expanded Crypto sites in Goldman highlights a wider direction: the traditional Wall Street players are looking to capture higher than digital assets while managing the risk through both ETFS and options.
At the time of the press, BTC was traded at $ 96,239.
