Vanguard will moderate its anti-ETF stance, analyst predicts.

Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, predicts that asset manager Vanguard’s rigid stance on a physical Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) may be easing.

Known for its conservatism, Vanguard has recently gained notoriety for keeping a significant distance from Bitcoin (BTC) and other digital currencies due to the volatility in the sector.

But Balchunas suggests that the Valley Forge, Pa.-based company may be moving in the opposite direction as wealth expands and the need for diversified investments grows.

Vanguard, which manages about $7.7 trillion worth of assets, is likely to reevaluate its positions on alternative assets, such as spot Bitcoin ETFs, Balchunas says.

Vanguard’s anti-Bitcoin ETF stance is entirely about brand and would have made Bogle proud. That said, I think they will soften over the next few years as they build their advisory business and will likely need to access alternative services. For this reason they have recently gone into PE.

The speculation comes amid Vanguard’s recent move to limit customer access to its newly approved spot Bitcoin ETF, a decision that has sparked controversy in the cryptocurrency community.

Some Vanguard customers who felt restricted have since transferred their funds to other companies that are more open to digital currencies.

In an even more surprising move, Vanguard announced plans to withdraw its Bitcoin futures ETF from its platform, affirming its commitment to its core investment values.

The decision was seen as demonstrating Vanguard’s continued skepticism toward the cryptocurrency market, despite surging interest in it.

However, some of the company’s investment trends tell a slightly different story. Vanguard remains hesitant about Bitcoin, but its heavy investment in MicroStrategy, a major public holder of Bitcoin, has raised eyebrows.

The company, co-founded by Bitcoin enthusiast Michael Saylor, currently holds a whopping 190,000 BTC, worth over $8.1 billion.

As of September 2023, Vanguard held 1 million shares of MicroStrategy stock, valued at more than $547 million at the time, according to Yahoo Finance. This makes them the company’s second-largest institutional shareholders, after Capital International Investors.

Vanguard has also reportedly invested heavily in Bitcoin mining companies including Riot Platforms and Marathon Digital last year.

For this reason, analysts like Balchunas are arguing that while Vanguard may reject Bitcoin ETFs for now, their investment hints at a more nuanced approach to the cryptocurrency.
