Dartmouth joins Harvard in digital asset investments as SEC-approved crypto ETFs see mixed flows amid Bitcoin price volatility.
Dartmouth’s endowment disclosed a $14 million investment in a Solana ETF, marking its entry into cryptocurrency assets. The move follows Harvard’s reported holdings in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, reflecting growing institutional interest in digital assets despite recent market fluctuations.
The SEC approved spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024, with subsequent approvals for Ether, Solana, and other cryptocurrencies. However, Bitcoin ETFs recorded $635.2 million in daily outflows last week, the largest since January, amid broader market uncertainty.
Bitcoin’s price stood at $81,237, up 2% in 24 hours, but remains below its October 2025 peak of $126,000. Analysts note BTC’s struggle to sustain momentum above key moving averages, including the 200-day EMA.
