Goldman Sachs Buys NEOS Bitcoin ETF for $2.25B; Swiss National Bank Holds $72M in MSTR
GS sits 47% above its 52-week low of $705.55.
Summary
Goldman Sachs acquired NEOS Investments and its Bitcoin High Income ETF (BTCI) for $2.25 billion, giving the bank a direct crypto ETF product without waiting for its own SEC application. The deal adds a covered-call Bitcoin ETF with a 0.99% fee, competing with BlackRock's 0.65% offering. Separately, the Swiss National Bank disclosed a 736,300-share position in Strategy (MSTR) worth about $72 million, signaling institutional adoption of Bitcoin via corporate proxies. This follows Goldman's record Q2 2026 results and its lead underwriter role in the SpaceX IPO, reinforcing its push into high-growth alternative assets. The acquisition is modest relative to Goldman's $302B market cap but strategically significant for its crypto footprint.
