FAQ
What is MSBT’s expense ratio?
MSBT charges 0.14% annually — the lowest of any spot Bitcoin ETF. It undercuts IBIT (0.25%) by 11 basis points and Grayscale Mini BTC (0.15%) by 1 basis point. Morgan Stanley has waived the sponsor fee on the first $5 billion in assets for the first 6 months post-launch.
Who custodies MSBT’s Bitcoin?
Coinbase Custody Trust Company is the primary custodian, holding MSBT’s Bitcoin in cold storage. Fidelity serves as secondary custodian for custody redundancy. BNY Mellon is the fund administrator, cash custodian, and transfer agent.
How does MSBT compare to IBIT?
MSBT is 11 basis points cheaper (0.14% vs 0.25%) but launched with less liquidity and no listed options yet. IBIT has deeper order books and the most active options market among Bitcoin ETFs. MSBT benefits from Morgan Stanley’s 16,000-advisor distribution network, which drove top-1% launch volume of ~$50M on day one.
Is MSBT the first bank-issued Bitcoin ETF?
Yes. MSBT is the first spot Bitcoin ETF issued directly by a major U.S. bank. All prior spot Bitcoin ETFs were launched by asset managers (BlackRock, Fidelity, Bitwise, ARK/21Shares, Grayscale, VanEck) rather than by a primary banking institution.
Can I use MSBT for tax-loss harvesting?
Yes. MSBT tracks the same underlying asset (spot BTC) as IBIT, FBTC, BITB, ARKB, and other spot Bitcoin ETFs, making them natural swap pairs. Since MSBT has a different issuer, swapping between MSBT and another spot Bitcoin ETF at a loss should not trigger wash-sale treatment. See our tax-loss harvesting guide for details.
How do I convert an MSBT strike price to a BTC price?
Divide the MSBT strike by the current BTC-per-share ratio (approximately 0.0002879). For example, a $20 MSBT strike ÷ 0.0002879 ≈ $69,469 BTC. Use the calculator above for live values — the ratio updates daily as MSBT’s NAV is reported.
