Title: Hey There! Check Out What Brown University's Up To! Bitcoin Investments Galore!*
Have you heard the buzz? Brown University, an esteemed Ivy League institution, has dived headfirst into the crypto world!
They recently acquired 105,000 shares of BlackRock's Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (IBIT) for a cool $4.915 million. But wait, with IBIT currently trading at $55.19 per share, their investment has already grown to a whopping $5.79 million!
Brown University follows Emory University and University of Austin (UATX) as notable examples of higher educational institutions venturing into Bitcoin. Emory University owns a staggering 2,678,906 shares in the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF, and also invested in 4,312 shares of Coinbase's stock. UATX announced plans last year to invest $5 million in Bitcoin endowment funds.
Chad Thevenot, UATX's senior vice president for advancement, comments on their investment strategy:
"We think there's long-term value there, just the same way that we might think there's long-term value in stocks or real estate."
Currently, Bitcoin is trading at around $96,723, up more than 2% in the last seven days.

- As other educational institutions like Emory University and University of Austin (UATX) have shown, Brown University's venturing into Bitcoin is a clear indication that the world of cryptocurrency, altcoins, and blockchain technology is gaining traction in the finance sector, as they’ve acquired shares in Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETF) and invested in cryptocurrency companies.
- In the realm of cryptocurrency finance, Brown University's investment in Bitcoin and other altcoins isn't just about short-term gains, but rather a long-term strategy, inviting the question of whether traditional financial institutions will soon follow suit, as their Senior Vice President for Advancement commented on UATX's investment strategy.
