The Atlanta-based private research institution Emory University reported holding nearly 2.7 million shares of the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust valued at around $15.1 million, according to an Oct. 25 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Though pension funds in Wisconsin and Jersey City have reported holding crypto-based exchange-traded products (ETFs), Emory may be one of the few institutions of higher education to report owning such assets.
Approved in July, the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust (ticker BTC) serves as an off-shoot of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), the firm's spot bitcoin ETF. BTC provides passive exposure to the price of bitcoin, and the trust's value aims to reflect the price movement of bitcoin. As a spin-off from GBTC, BTC offers exposure to the price of bitcoin at a lower share price, "allowing investors to achieve more precise Bitcoin exposure," according to the fund's website .
Emory also reported holding 4,312 shares, valued at $768,269, in the crypto exchange giant Coinbase, the filing shows. Coinbase (ticker COIN) stock was valued at $ 205.70 as of 5:28 p.m. ET (21:28 UTC) on Friday, according to data from the stock exchange NASDAQ. The filing shows Emory's investments as of Sept. 30. Coinbase also serves as the custodian for Grayscale's bitcoin holdings.
Media representatives of Emory University did not immediately respond to The Block's request for comment outside of normal business hours.
