Harvard is now an Ethereum (ETH) investor.
The Ivy League Institution’s endowment bought more than $86.8 million worth of BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the fourth quarter of 2025, per filings submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) last week.
Harvard Management Company also slashed its ongoing Bitcoin ($BTC) ETF investment, reducing its iShares Bitcoin Trust holdings from 6,813,612 shares in Q3 to 5,353,612 in Q4. Those shares were worth $265.8 million as of December 31st.
The endowment first reported a $126.04 million $BTC ETF investment in August, and those holdings grew to $443 million in Q3.
News of the private university’s investment shakeup materializes as the crypto market continues to bleed: Bitcoin is trading at $67,936 at time of writing and is down more than 2% in the past seven days and nearly 29% in the past month.
Ethereum has been hit even harder, down 4% in the past week and more than 40% in the past 30 days. The second-ranked crypto asset by market cap is trading at $1,978 at time of writing.
Endowments associated with Brown and Emory also disclosed crypto ETF investments in 2025. In a filing earlier this year, Dartmouth reported that it had invested more than $10 million in the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF and nearly $5 million in Grayscale’s Ethereum Mini Trust ETF.
