Harvard endowment holds IBIT stake steady at $101.4 million as SpaceX tops portfolio at $2.21 billion

Harvard University’s endowment kept its position in BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF, the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), unchanged in the second quarter, according to its latest 13F filing. As of June 30, the fund held 3.0446 million IBIT shares worth about $101.4 million, the same share count reported at the end of the first quarter, halting two straight quarters of reductions. The filing shows Harvard had cut the position by 21% in the fourth quarter of 2025 and by another 43% in the first quarter of 2026. IBIT now accounts for roughly 2.4% of Harvard’s disclosed $4.26 billion U.S. equity portfolio. The endowment’s gold exposure remained larger, with holdings in iShares Gold Trust and SPDR Gold Trust totaling about $171.2 million. Harvard had already exited BlackRock’s spot Ether ETF position valued at $86.8 million and added no new Ethereum-related exposure in the second quarter. The filing also shows SpaceX as Harvard’s largest single stock holding at 12,935,100 shares worth $2.21 billion, or about 52% of its roughly $4.3 billion disclosed U.S. stock assets. Other institutions reported mixed IBIT activity, with Mubadala and the Abu Dhabi Investment Council unchanged, JPMorgan increasing its position, and Morgan Stanley trimming its stake.
