Emory University Follows Tesla, Block And PayPal With $16M Bitcoin Investment
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。
Block Inc., another big player in the corporate Bitcoin space, invested $50 million in 2020 and added $170 million more in 2021, further validating Bitcoin as a long-term store of value.
企业比特币领域的另一大参与者Block Inc. 在2020年投资了5000万美元,并在2021年又增加了1.7亿美元,进一步验证了比特币作为一种长期价值储存手段。

Emory's decision to invest directly in Bitcoin ETF shares is notable, as it brings a new level of diversification to the university's endowment strategy, a path yet to be publicly declared by other major universities like Harvard, Yale, or Stanford.
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。
In addition to its Bitcoin stake, Emory also revealed ownership of 4,312 shares of Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN), valued at approximately $768,000, marking a comprehensive approach to digital asset investments.
除了其比特币股份外,埃默里还透露了Coinbase(纳斯达克股票代码:COIN)4,312股股票的所有权,价值约768,000美元,这标志着数字资产投资的全面方法。
Coinbase also serves as the custodian for Grayscale's Bitcoin assets, creating a synergy in Emory's portfolio as it branches into digital finance.
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。
Emory's announcement comes amid heightened inflows in Bitcoin ETFs.
埃默里宣布这一消息之际,比特币ETF的流入量增加。
The spot Bitcoin ETF market has seen significant growth, with over $188 million in new funds this year alone, largely led by BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:IBIT) and Bitwise's Bitcoin Strategy ETF (NYSE:BITB).
现货比特币ETF市场实现了显著增长,仅今年就有超过1.88亿美元的新基金,主要由贝莱德的iShares比特币信托基金(纳斯达克股票代码:IBIT)和Bitwise的比特币策略ETF(纽约证券交易所代码:BITB)领投。
What's Next: These developments will be discussed at the upcoming Benzinga Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19, where experts will explore the impact of corporate and institutional Bitcoin investments on the broader financial landscape.
下一步是什么:即将于11月19日举行的Benzinga数字资产未来活动将讨论这些发展,专家们将在该活动中探讨企业和机构比特币投资对更广泛金融格局的影响。
