Emory University, located in Atlanta, has disclosed a significant investment in cryptocurrency, holding approximately 2.7 million shares of the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust, valued at about $15.1 million, according to an SEC filing dated October 25.
This positions Emory as one of the few educational institutions to invest in such crypto assets, joining a trend observed among some pension funds in Wisconsin and Jersey City that have also ventured into crypto-based exchange-traded products (ETFs).
The Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust, launched in July, is designed to provide passive exposure to Bitcoin prices and is a spin-off of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC).
