Morgan Stanley's Global Investment Committee has formally recognized Bitcoin as a scarce, non-sovereign store of value comparable to gold, recommending portfolio allocations of 0-2% for balanced growth and 2-4% for higher risk clients. The bank highlights Bitcoin's fixed supply and low market penetration, estimating its market cap at about 2% of a $130 trillion addressable market. Morgan Stanley projects annual returns of 3-10% depending on adoption scenarios and supports its thesis with the MSBT spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Product, which has gathered $609 million in assets. This formal endorsement signals growing institutional acceptance of Bitcoin as a diversification hedge rather than a speculative asset.
