Harvard trims Bitcoin ETF holdings, establishes $87M Ethereum ETF position
Harvard Management Company reduced its exposure to a major Bitcoin ETF by about 21% while disclosing a new Ethereum ETF holding valued at roughly $87 million.
Harvard Management Company (HMC) cut its stake in a major Bitcoin exchange-traded fund by roughly 21%, reducing exposure to the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) as reflected in recent filings [1][4].
At the same time, HMC opened a new multimillion-dollar position in an Ethereum ETF, reporting first disclosed Ethereum ETF holdings valued at about $87 million [2][3][1].
Reports indicate the rebalancing involved the sale of approximately 1.48 million shares of the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF as HMC rotated into Ethereum exposure [4][1].
Taken together, the filings show a strategic rebalancing by Harvard’s endowment manager away from Bitcoin ETF exposure and into an Ethereum ETF position, reflecting a shift in the portfolio’s crypto allocation [1][2].
