Morgan Stanley's Bitcoin ETF has been listed for 85 days with an unrealized loss of 66.8 million dollars, yet it still received 371.1 million dollars in subscriptions

According to regulatory filings, the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust (MSBT) recorded approximately $371.1 million in total share subscription contributions within 85 days of its listing, including about $200.3 million in cash and approximately $170.8 million in Bitcoin. During the same period, the fund's net assets decreased by approximately $6.68 million due to operations, almost entirely from unrealized depreciation in Bitcoin (approximately $6.617 million), along with realized losses of about $618,600 and sponsor fees of about $72,300, not caused by large redemptions by investors.

The documents show that the redemption allocation during this period accounted for only about 1.42% of the total subscription contributions. The fund issued approximately 17.9 million shares and redeemed 250,000 shares (corresponding to 1,790 creation baskets and 25 redemption baskets). The share circulation increased from about 17.65 million on June 30 to about 21.74 million on July 31, an increase of approximately 23.17%. Creation and redemption were conducted by authorized participants at a net asset value of 10,000 shares per basket.
