In a post on X on August 14, MacroScope revealed Godlman Sachs’ positions in the US-based crypto products, highlighting that these are all new positions as of this quarter.
Institutional investment managers with more than $100 million in equity assets under management must submit 13F filings on a quarterly basis with the US SEC.
13F filings provide a quarterly snapshot of an investment manager’s long equity positions and options, but the reports don’t disclose their short positions. This limits their utility as a complex overview of portfolio strategy.
This disclosure is relevant as large institutions such as Goldman Sachs traditionally have a significant influence on market sentiment and trends.
Speaking of large financial entities with holdings in Bitcoin ETFs, we recently reported that Europe’s 4th largest hedge fund Capula Management also reported important investments in BlackRock’s and Fidelity’s Bitcoin ETFs at the beginning of this month.
According to official reports, the London-based hedge fund has invested around $500 million in these Bitcoin ETFs. Capula Management is mostly popular for its expertise in fixed-income and macroeconomic strategies.
