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.

大学捐赠基金通常以其保守的投资策略而闻名，通常更喜欢间接接触或完全避免数字资产。但是，布朗的举动可能表明对受监管比特币产品的机构风险承受能力发生了变化。

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.

今年早些时候，奥斯汀大学成立了500万美元的比特币基金，这是其2亿美元的捐赠策略的一部分。该基金是与Unchained合作创建的，它看到了加密管理公司管理比特币持有的监护权。

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.

该大学计划将比特币持有至少五年，将其视为类似于股票或房地产的长期资产。

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.
