Morgan Stanley Buys 177.76 BTC, Lifting Bitcoin Position to $103.94M

Morgan Stanley has continued to ramp up its Bitcoin exposure, adding 177.76 BTC worth $13.75 million on April 18, according to Arkham. The purchase lifts the bank's total holdings to 1,347.54 BTC, valued at $103.94 million. The steady accumulation underscores a growing institutional vote of confidence in crypto. Historically, supportive positioning from large market participants has tended to coincide with stronger Bitcoin price performance. Institutional interest is also showing up in U.S. market indicators. CryptoQuant data shows the Coinbase Premium Index has stayed positive for 10 consecutive days, the longest streak year-to-date. The previous comparable run occurred in December 2025, when Bitcoin held firmly above $90,000. Spot Bitcoin ETFs are reinforcing that trend. Sosovalue data indicates net inflows have remained positive for four straight days. On April 18, spot ETF inflows jumped to a three-month high of $663.9 million. Against that backdrop, Morgan Stanley's new spot Bitcoin ETF, MSBT, has posted strong early demand. Inflows reached $102 million in its first week of trading, pushing total assets above $140 million. The bank characterized the debut as its most successful ETF launch to date. Bitcoin prices have responded alongside the uptick in institutional participation. BTC has remained in an uptrend over the past two weeks and recently touched a two-month high of $78,317 before easing back. At the time of writing, Bitcoin traded at $77,257, up 3.15% on the day. Technical signals have improved as well, with BTC reclaiming the 20-, 50-, and 100-day EMAs. The Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) rose to 70, supporting the bullish momentum. If U.S.-led institutional demand persists, BTC could break above $80,000 and target $82,938. If the move stalls, support is seen around $72,584. Final Summary: Morgan Stanley bought 177.76 BTC worth $13.75 million, taking total holdings to 1,347.54 BTC valued at $103.94 million. MSBT drew more than $102 million in first-week inflows, lifting assets to over $140 million.
