布朗大學透露了一項新的490萬美元投資於貝萊德的iShares比特幣信託

這項投資源於13F備案，該文件表明購買了105,000股，這標誌著該大學對現貨比特幣ETF的最初報告的投資。

Brown University has made a new investment of $4.9 million in BlackRock’s (NYSE:BLK) iShares Bitcoin Trust (NYSE:IBIT), according to a recent 13F filing.

根據最近的13F備案，布朗大學已經在貝萊德（NYSE：BLK）Ishares比特幣信託（NYSE：IBIT）的貝萊德（NYSE：BLK）進行了490萬美元的新投資。

This investment, which is the university’s initial reported holding in a spot Bitcoin ETF, saw the purchase of 105,000 shares of IBIT. The position, which was reported for the first quarter of 2024, highlights the increasing interest from institutions in Bitcoin through regulated financial instruments.

這項投資是該大學最初報導在現貨比特幣ETF中持有的投資，它購買了IBIT的105,000股。該職位在2024年第一季度據報導，強調了通過受監管的金融工具對比特幣中機構的興趣日益增加。

The filing also showed that Brown’s total disclosed equity holdings amounted to $216 million across 14 positions, with the IBIT stake forming approximately 2.3% of the portfolio value.

該文件還表明，布朗在14個職位上披露的股權持有量為2.16億美元，而IBIT股份約佔投資組合價值的2.3％。

BlackRock’s IBIT has been a key player in the wave of spot Bitcoin ETFs that received approval from the SEC earlier this year. The ETF, which began trading in January, has quickly become a hit with professional investors.

貝萊德（Blackrock）的IBIT一直是今年早些時候獲得SEC批准的現貨比特幣ETF浪潮的關鍵人物。 ETF從一月份開始交易，很快就受到了專業投資者的歡迎。

Several institutions, ranging from hedge funds and pensions to an Ivy League university, have become shareholders in the ETF.

從對沖基金和養老金到常春藤聯盟大學的幾個機構已成為ETF的股東。

Universities buying Bitcoin

大學購買比特幣

University endowments are typically known for their conservative investment strategies, often preferring indirect exposure or avoiding digital assets altogether. However, Brown’s move may indicate a change in institutional risk tolerance towards regulated Bitcoin products.

大學捐贈基金通常以其保守的投資策略而聞名，通常更喜歡間接接觸或完全避免數字資產。但是，布朗的舉動可能表明對受監管比特幣產品的機構風險承受能力發生了變化。

Earlier this year, the University of Austin launched a $5 million Bitcoin fund as part of its $200 million endowment strategy. The fund, which was created in partnership with Unchained, saw the crypto management firm managing custody of the Bitcoin holdings.

今年早些時候，奧斯汀大學成立了500萬美元的比特幣基金，這是其2億美元的捐贈策略的一部分。該基金是與Unchained合作創建的，它看到了加密管理公司管理比特幣持有的監護權。

The university, which planned to hold the Bitcoin for at least five years, viewed it as a long-term asset similar to stocks or real estate.

該大學計劃將比特幣持有至少五年，將其視為類似於股票或房地產的長期資產。

Other universities, including Emory and Stanford, also gained exposure to Bitcoin through investments in Grayscale's (OTC:GZSC) Bitcoin Mini Trust and BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin ETF.

包括埃默里（Emory）和斯坦福大學（Stanford）在內的其他大學也通過對Grayscale（OTC：GZSC）比特幣Mini Trust和BlackRock的Ishares Bitcoin ETF的投資獲得了對比特幣的接觸。
