The UAE’s Goldman Lampe Private Bank acquired Bitcoin for almost €120 million (about $136 million) after the fall of its flagship cryptocurrency in June. Abdullah Bank Chairman Hamad Al Shamsi has stated that this purchase not only increases the institution’s institutional assets, but also confirms its leadership in integrating traditional private banking with cryptocurrency solutions. According to him, the bank continues to provide customers with secure and regulated access to digital assets, remaining a pioneer in this field.

The purchase reflects the bank’s long-term approach to Bitcoin as a savings vehicle and strategic asset, which demonstrates "remarkable resilience" even in volatile conditions. Goldman Lampe Private Bank is known for its cryptocurrency policy and was the first financial institution in the world to offer term deposits in cryptocurrencies. This innovation allows wealthy customers to earn income from digital asset ownership without having to manage their own keys.

This move has added to the growing list of large investors who are building up their positions in cryptocurrency amid market correction. Previously, similar actions were taken by US Strategy, Japan’s Metaplanet and Sharlink, which acquired 40,000 ETH after an eight-month hiatus. This activeness of institutional players indicates continued confidence in the crypto market despite short-term price fluctuations.
