布朗大学将比特币作为多元化战略的一部分

在历史性的举动中，布朗大学通过受监管的交换基金（ETF）对比特币进行了首次投资。

Brown University has made its first investment in Bitcoin through a regulated exchange-traded fund (ETF), according to a recent U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing.

根据最近的美国证券交易委员会（SEC）文件，布朗大学通过受监管的交易所交易基金（ETF）对比特币进行了首次投资。

The Ivy League school disclosed an investment of approximately $5 million in BlackRock's flagship spot Bitcoin ETF. This purchase marks the first time that Brown University has entered the market of crypto-related assets.

常春藤联盟学校披露了贝莱德（BlackRock）旗舰景点比特币ETF的投资约500万美元。这次购买标志着布朗大学首次进入与加密相关的资产市场。

The university declared ownership of 105,000 shares of IBIT, which had a March 31, 2025, value of $4,915,050. The disclosure about this investment appeared in Brown’s 13F-HR form, which reveals large institutional investment information.

该大学宣布拥有105,000股IBIT的所有权，该股票的价值为2025年3月31日，价值为4,915,050美元。关于这项投资的披露以布朗的13F-HR表格出现，该表揭示了大量的机构投资信息。

This acquisition represents an important development for the Rhode Island-based educational institution. The Bitcoin ETF shares were purchased by the institution in one of the three months of the first quarter of 2025, which spans from January through March. Throughout the report, all investment positions amount to a total value of $216 million. Brown University maintains Bitcoin investments within a significant but minimal portion of its assets.

此次收购代表了基于罗德岛的教育机构的重要发展。该机构在2025年第一季度的三个月之一中购买了比特币ETF股票，该股票从一月到3月份跨越。在整个报告中，所有投资头寸总计为2.16亿美元。布朗大学将比特币投资保持在其资产的大量但最小的资产中。

The 2024 endowment report from Brown University provides an important understanding of the decision-making process. According to the statement, financial markets demonstrated increased complexity during recent years, so the university modified its strategies.

布朗大学的2024年捐赠报告提供了对决策过程的重要理解。根据声明，金融市场表明近年来复杂性增加，因此该大学修改了其策略。

"This change, which began in 2021, saw the University pivot from a core-satellite investing approach to one that deploys multiple sophisticated strategies, each demanding advanced knowledge of specific markets," the report reads.

该报告写道：“这种变化始于2021年，大学将核心投资方法转移到了一种部署多种复杂策略的核心投资方法，每种方法都要求对特定市场的高级知识。”

The institutional investors of Brown apply their capital toward stocks, bonds, real estate properties, and private companies and currently invest in cryptocurrencies.

布朗的机构投资者将其资本应用于股票，债券，房地产和私人公司，目前投资于加密货币。

Since January 2024, the SEC-approved spot Bitcoin ETF, which BlackRock controls, has emerged as the most popular exchange-traded fund in the market today. IBIT exists as an asset management firm that controls more than $56 billion in assets while attracting increasing numbers of institutional investors. The total Bitcoin holdings of IBIT reached 576,038 as documented on March 31 and were worth $47.78 billion.

自2024年1月以来，贝莱德控制的SEC批准的现货比特币ETF已成为当今市场上最受欢迎的交易所交易基金。 IBIT是一家资产管理公司，该公司控制着超过560亿美元的资产，同时吸引了越来越多的机构投资者。 IBIT的总比特币持有量达到3月31日的576,038，价值477.8亿美元。

This trend shows that traditional financial institutions and asset managers are increasingly interested in digital assets. Spot ETFs, including IBIT, provide institutions with an easier and safer way to invest in Bitcoin.

这种趋势表明，传统的金融机构和资产经理对数字资产越来越感兴趣。包括IBIT在内的现场ETF为机构提供了一种更轻松，更安全的投资比特币的方式。

Institutions can access Bitcoin exposure through spot ETFs which eliminates the need for handling tokens and storage management responsibilities.

机构可以通过SPOT ETF访问比特币的暴露，从而消除了处理令牌和存储管理职责的需求。

On the other hand, Schools alongside Brown University are presently embracing the crypto movement. The University of Austin decided to put $5 billion from its endowment into Bitcoin investments during February 2025. The investing partnership between Unchained and the institution operates with a minimum five-year commitment on the Bitcoin holdings.

另一方面，与布朗大学一起的学校目前正在拥抱加密运动。奥斯汀大学决定在2025年2月将其捐赠中的50亿美元投入到比特币投资中。《 Unchained与该机构》之间的投资合作伙伴关系对比特币控股公司的最低五年承诺运作。

Both Stanford University and Emory University have invested their funds in Bitcoin by utilizing regulated financial instruments.

斯坦福大学和埃默里大学都通过利用受监管的金融工具投资了他们的资金。

In addition to this, this pattern demonstrates an ongoing general movement. Numerous universities approach new financial instruments with caution but now start to consider digital assets within their long-term plans.

除此之外，这种模式表明了持续的一般运动。许多大学谨慎对待新的金融工具，但现在开始在其长期计划中考虑数字资产。

More institutions will probably adopt Bitcoin investments thanks to the recognized values combined with ETF accessibility, which will enhance the trend.

由于公认的价值与ETF可访问性相结合，更多的机构可能会采用比特币投资，这将增强趋势。

Overall, the educational sector, alongside financial institutions, is increasingly adopting cryptocurrency as they acknowledge its validity, according to Brown’s example.

总体而言，根据布朗的榜样，教育部门与金融机构一起，在承认其有效性时，越来越多地采用加密货币。
