Harvard University's latest 13F filing shows that as of June 30, it still holds 3,044,600 shares of BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF IBIT, valued at approximately $101.4 million, with the number of shares unchanged from the end of the first quarter, ending a previous trend of two consecutive quarters of reduction. Harvard reduced its IBIT holdings by 21% in the fourth quarter of 2025 and by another 43% in the first quarter of 2026.

The total value of U.S. stock assets disclosed by Harvard this time is approximately $4.3 billion, meaning that the SpaceX holding accounts for 52%.
