👏 Emory University becomes the first university to invest in a bitcoin ETF
This 188-year-old institution became the first higher education institution to invest in a spot bitcoin ETF, acquiring over $15 million in assets through the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust.
💪 While Emory was the first to report ownership of an ETF, other universities, such as Harvard and Yale, have been investing directly in bitcoin through exchanges, including Coinbase, since 2019.
Emory University's investments represent 23% of the university’s portfolio, valued at $66 million.
