Harvard Makes Bold Crypto Shift With Massive Bitcoin Allocation Harvard University has made a decisive move into digital assets, expanding its Bitcoin exposure by 257% in Q3 2025 and elevating the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) to its largest disclosed holding at $442.8 million, newly released regulatory filings show. The investment makes Bitcoin a larger position for the university than Microsoft, Amazon, or Nvidia. Harvard now owns 6.8 million IBIT shares, up from 1.9 million in June—representing 21% of its public equity portfolio and placing the university among the top 20 holders of BlackRock’s leading Bitcoin ETF. Analysts say such an allocation from an elite endowment is a rare and powerful endorsement, as major universities typically avoid ETF structures for alternative assets. In parallel, Harvard nearly doubled its gold holdings (+99%), adding $235 million worth of SPDR Gold Trust shares—a move that suggests a defensive strategy amid ongoing monetary-policy uncertainty. The shift comes as Bitcoin trades near $95,000 after retreating from October highs above $120,000. The university’s aggressive crypto positioning contrasts sharply with prior skepticism from some of its own faculty. Notably, economist Kenneth Rogoff—who famously predicted in 2018 that Bitcoin was more likely to reach $100 than $100,000—has since conceded he underestimated the evolving regulatory environment. Harvard’s pivot signals a broader trend of institutional adoption. Emory University doubled its Bitcoin ETF holdings to $52 million, Wisconsin’s state investment board holds roughly $387 million in IBIT, and JPMorgan increased its stake by 64% to $343 million. With BlackRock’s fund now commanding over half the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF market and surpassing $60 billion in net inflows, analysts say Harvard’s move could influence peer institutions and accelerate higher-education endowment participation in digital assets. #DigitalAssets #BTC #etf #cryptocurreny #bitcoin

Japan Plans Landmark Crypto Reform With Flat 20% Tax and Strict Disclosure Rules Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) is moving toward one of the country’s largest crypto regulatory overhauls, proposing a flat 20% tax on digital asset gains—down from the current progressive rate that can reach 55%. The reform, reported by the Asahi Shimbun, would align crypto taxation with stock and bond capital gains and reclassify 105 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, as financial products under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. The initiative aims to streamline oversight, impose extensive disclosure requirements on all tokens listed on licensed Japanese exchanges, and extend insider-trading prohibitions to crypto for the first time. The Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission would also gain new enforcement powers. The framework would allow banks and insurance companies to offer crypto through their securities arms, marking a significant shift from current restrictions. Still, industry groups caution that 90% of domestic exchanges are already unprofitable, warning that the rules may be overly burdensome. Expected to reach parliament in 2026, the proposal positions Japan as a frontrunner in global digital-asset governance, potentially shaping regulatory models abroad. #cryptocurreny #MarketPullback #BinanceSquare #BTC #ETH $BTC $ETH

🇺🇸🇨🇭 U.S.–Switzerland Strike Breakthrough Trade Deal, Slashing Tariffs to 15% The United States and Switzerland have reached a landmark trade agreement that reduces U.S. tariffs on Swiss imports from 39% to 15%, ending a months-long standoff that had severely strained Switzerland’s export-driven economy. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer confirmed the deal on Friday, with the Swiss government also acknowledging the breakthrough. Full details are expected later today. A major pillar of the agreement is Switzerland’s commitment to invest $200 billion in the U.S. by 2028, including $70 billion in 2026, with major expansions in pharmaceuticals, gold smelting, and railway equipment manufacturing. The tariff rollback brings immediate relief to the Swiss watch industry, which saw exports to the U.S. plunge over 55% in September following the steep tariff hike in August. Industry leaders welcomed the deal: Swissmem’s Martin Hirzel urged caution despite the short-term relief, while watch industry chief Yves Bugmann called it an encouraging development for a sector facing prolonged uncertainty. The agreement follows months of intense negotiations and a pivotal meeting between President Donald Trump and top Swiss executives, including Rolex CEO Jean-Frédéric Dufour and Richemont Chairman Johann Rupert. Switzerland’s Economy Minister Guy Parmelin said Thursday's final talks in Washington “clarified almost everything.” The 39% tariff—one of the highest ever imposed on a developed nation—had threatened key Swiss industries including watchmaking, machinery, chocolate, and cheese. With the new 15% rate now aligned with EU and Japan import levies, both nations aim to stabilize trade ties and reduce last year’s $38 billion U.S. trade deficit with Switzerland. The deal marks a significant de-escalation and opens a path for renewed industrial cooperation between the two countries.

Apple Ramps Up CEO Succession Talks as Tim Cook Considers 2026 Exit Apple has accelerated its CEO succession planning amid reports that Tim Cook may step down as early as next year. John Ternus, the company’s hardware engineering chief, is now the top contender, with internal discussions gaining urgency, according to the Financial Times. The move comes during a period of strong performance—Apple recently topped $4 trillion in market value, and holiday sales are expected to be robust. The succession talks are not linked to operational concerns. Ternus, a 20-year Apple veteran overseeing iPhone, Mac, iPad, AirPods, and Apple Silicon, has taken on a more prominent public role recently. Other potential successors reportedly include software head Craig Federighi and marketing chief Greg Joswiak. The transition would mark Apple’s most significant leadership change since Cook succeeded Steve Jobs in 2011. #Apple #MarketPullback #CPIWatch #CryptoMarketMoves #ETH $COAI $MET $ENA

Gates Foundation Trust Offloads Majority of Microsoft Stake in $8.7B Portfolio Rebalance The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust sharply reduced its long-standing Microsoft position in Q3 2025, selling 17 million shares and cutting its stake by nearly 65%, according to a November 14 regulatory filing. The divestment, valued at roughly $8.7 billion based on Microsoft’s average quarterly price of $510.13, lowers the stock’s share of the Trust’s portfolio from over 27% to just 13%. The Trust still holds 9.2 million Microsoft shares worth approximately $4.76 billion. The move appears to be a strategic liquidity adjustment rather than a shift in confidence. Microsoft stock has nearly doubled since the Trust built the position in 2021 and remains up 21.7% year-to-date, powered by accelerating demand for Azure and AI-driven services. CEO Satya Nadella highlighted that cloud and AI continue to drive enterprise productivity, with Azure revenue rising 33% and AI contributing 16 percentage points of that growth in the latest quarter. The filing also disclosed full exits from Crown Castle and UPS, alongside a partial trim of Berkshire Hathaway—still the Trust’s largest holding at nearly 30%. The rebalancing supports Gates’ long-term pledge to donate 99% of his wealth and increase annual foundation distributions to $9 billion as it progresses toward its planned 2045 shutdown. Despite the reshuffling, the portfolio remains highly concentrated, with roughly 67% of assets held in Berkshire Hathaway, Waste Management, and Canadian National. #Microsoft #cryptocurreny #BinanceSquare #Write2Earn #BTC $BTC $ETH $SOL
