Emory University Follows Tesla, Block And PayPal With $16M Bitcoin Investment
Like Tesla's notable $1.5 billion Bitcoin purchase in 2021—partially sold later to stabilize holdings—Emory's investment signals confidence in the cryptocurrency's potential as an alternative asset class. Emory University has disclosed a $16 million investment in the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust (NYSE:BTC), placing it among the first higher education institutions to dive into Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) holdings.
埃默里大学披露了对灰度比特币迷你信托基金（纽约证券交易所代码：BTC）的1600万美元投资，使其成为最早涉足比特币（加密货币：BTC）持股的高等教育机构之一。
This move follows a trend set by corporate giants like Tesla, Block Inc. (formerly Square) and PayPal, which have each added Bitcoin to their balance sheets in recent years.
此举遵循了特斯拉、Block Inc.（前身为Square）和PayPal等企业巨头设定的趋势，这些巨头近年来都在资产负债表中增加了比特币。
The university's recent SEC filing shows it has acquired about 2.7 million shares in the Grayscale trust, underscoring growing institutional interest in digital assets.
该大学最近向美国证券交易委员会提交的文件显示，它已收购了Grayscale信托基金约270万股股票，这凸显了机构对数字资产的兴趣与日俱增。
Like Tesla's notable $1.5 billion Bitcoin purchase in 2021—partially sold later to stabilize holdings—Emory's investment signals confidence in the cryptocurrency's potential as an alternative asset class.
就像特斯拉在2021年以15亿美元的大幅收购比特币——后来为了稳定持股量而部分出售——埃默里的投资表明人们对这种加密货币作为另类资产类别的潜力充满信心。

埃默里直接投资比特币ETF股票的决定值得注意，因为这为该大学的捐赠战略带来了新的多元化水平，哈佛大学、耶鲁大学或斯坦福大学等其他主要大学尚未公开宣布这条道路。

Coinbase还是Grayscale比特币资产的托管人，在Emory涉足数字金融的过程中，其投资组合产生了协同效应。
