Harvard Keeps BlackRock Bitcoin ETF Stake Steady at $101M as SpaceX Holding Hits $2.2B

Harvard’s endowment reported a steady holding in BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) in Q2 2026, maintaining about 3,044,612 shares valued at roughly $101.4 million, according to the endowment’s filings cited by multiple outlets ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

The update contrasts with a prior quarter cut: one report notes Harvard did not adjust its IBIT position in Q2 after a 43% reduction in the preceding quarter. Other institutions referenced alongside the Harvard update included JPMorgan increasing its IBIT shares to 10.4 million and Morgan Stanley reducing its position by 4.5%, while Tudor Investment Corporation increased its stake to 688,529 shares ^{[1] [3]}.

Separately from the ETF holding, the reports also cite Harvard’s continued ownership of a large SpaceX position, framed in the coverage as reaching $2.2 billion, while the IBIT exposure was kept unchanged in Q2 ^{[1] [4]}.
