✅ What do we know
Harvard, through its endowment fund manager Harvard Management Company (HMC), acquired 1.9 million shares of the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) ETF at the close of the second quarter of 2025, for a value of approximately US$ 116.7 million.
At the same time, its investment in Alphabet/Google shares was around US$ 113-114 million.
Therefore, the investment in the Bitcoin ETF slightly exceeded its public exposure to Google.
📈 Recent Evolution
In the third quarter of 2025, Harvard increased its stake in IBIT to 6.8 million shares, raising its investment in Bitcoin to US$ 442.8 million, making the ETF the largest public position in its portfolio.
This position far exceeds holdings in other large companies (including Microsoft, Amazon, and those of Alphabet).
🔎 What does this mean
Harvard not only considered Bitcoin (via ETF) as a relevant investment but prioritized it over some of the largest stocks in the world.
Even a traditional institution, with a conservative profile in many aspects, sees Bitcoin ETFs as a viable investment route — although the amount still represents less than 1% (or a small fraction) of its total endowment.
This situation helps explain why it is said that 'Harvard holds more Bitcoin ETFs than shares of Google' — it is a specific comparison between its public allocation in these asset classes.
