Morgan Stanley has confirmed that it intends to list its bitcoin exchange-traded fund under the ticker MSBT on the NYSE Arca, according to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
The reservation describes the structure of the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust, an investment vehicle designed to monitor the value of bitcoin through direct shares.
Shares of the trust reflect the value of the bitcoin in custody, and are reflected through a brokerage account without requiring direct ownership of the asset.
The trust plans to seed the fund by issuing 50,000 shares, which is expected to raise about $1 million in initial capital.
Ticker MSBT places the product alongside other bitcoin ETFs set to be approved in 2024, a change that opened up the market to traditional financial institutions.
Morgan Stanley is re-elected Coinbase Custody Trust Company as the main custodian of bitcoin. The company will protect the digital assets and manage the transfers connected to the sharing environment and exchange. Most of the bitcoins will be stored in cold storage, where the private keys are kept offline.
BNY Mellon will serve a number of roles, including custodian, issuer, and fund manager. The bank manages the accounting, shareholder records, and financial management of the trust.
This structure follows the model used in the bitcoin ETF market. A part of the funds of the fund can enter the wallets at the time of sharing or redemption, when authorized people exchange money for bitcoin or redeem shares of the value.
The booking states that safety insurance is available but is spread across multiple customers and may not cover all losses. Similar disclosures also appear in other ETF filings, reflecting the practices of companies such as asset managers increasing their exposure to bitcoin directly.
Key points were not disclosed, including management interest and interest. These figures often contribute to the demand for businesses, especially in a market where the competition between providers has increased.

Morgan Stanley the first one was spread for the bitcoin trust in January. The latest updates confirm more operational information and bring the product closer to launch, pending the validity of the registration statement and final approval.
The move reflects the bank’s big push towards digital products. Morgan Stanley has confirmed plans to expand beyond ETFs, and is working to integrate crypto trading into its E*Trade platform. The company has also explored security, lending, and productivity-related services associated with the digital economy.
At Strategy World, head of digital strategy Amy Oldenburg he explained further expansion as part of the company’s roadmap, targeting customer demand for integrated crypto services.
He said that the bank wants to establish a communication system for communication and exchange.
“This is a natural progression,” the official said. “We can’t borrow technology to do this. People expect Morgan Stanley — they trust our brand — they don’t fail.
