Emory University doubled its exposure to Bitcoin, increasing its investment in the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF to over $51.8 million, according to a Form 13F filed with the SEC. The Georgia-based university now holds more than 1 million shares of the fund, up from 487,636 reported in the previous quarter.
The institution first entered the Bitcoin ETF market in October 2024 with an initial $15 million position, becoming one of the first U.S. universities to publicly report holdings in a spot cryptocurrency ETF. Additionally, Emory owns 4,450 shares of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF, valued at $290,000, a position that has remained unchanged since it was disclosed in the second quarter.
The Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust, launched in July 2024, provides access to spot Bitcoin through a regulated structure with an annual fee of 0.15%, compared with 1.5% for its flagship GBTC fund. Despite Emory’s growing investment, Grayscale’s ETFs have experienced significant outflows, with over $21 billion redeemed in 2024 and an additional $3 billion withdrawn so far in 2025.
