Ah, the ivory towers of academia, where the minds of tomorrow are forged-or so they say. But lo, what is this? The hallowed halls of Harvard and Brown, bastions of tradition and erudition, have succumbed to the siren call of the digital underworld. Yes, dear reader, they have dipped their quills into the ink of Bitcoin, that elusive, enigmatic beast of the financial wilderness. 🦄
In a series of missives on the modern agora known as X, Bloomberg’s sage of ETFs, Eric Balchunas, reveals that the endowments of these Ivy League titans have cast their lots with BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT). A bold move, indeed, for institutions that once scoffed at such plebeian pursuits. 📈
Brown, that quaint Rhode Island haven of intellectual curiosity, has staked a modest $14.05 million. But Harvard, oh Harvard, with its gilded domes and endless coffers, has gone all in with a staggering $126.04 million. Behold, the 29th largest holder out of 1,300! Yet, as Balchunas quips with a wink and a nod, “This is but a drop in the ocean for Harvard, a mere trifle in their grand scheme. And who can say what arcane trades they weave in the shadows?” 🕵️♂️
“Harvard and Brown have bought IBIT,” Balchunas proclaims, his words dripping with the weight of revelation. “Endowments, those stoic guardians of wealth, rarely deign to touch ETFs. Yet here they are, dancing to the crypto tune. A spectacle, indeed!” 🎭
IBIT, that stalwart of the Bitcoin ETF realm, boasts a 10-day trading volume of $22.86 million and a colossal $86.33 billion in assets under management. Yet, in the grand theater of Harvard’s finances, this is but a fleeting cameo, a momentary diversion from their grander machinations. 🌪️
