亞特蘭大的私人研究機構埃默里大學報告稱，灰階比特幣迷你信託基金持有價值 1,510 萬美元的資產。

Emory University, a private research institution in Atlanta, has reported $15.1 million worth of holdings in Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust.

亞特蘭大的私人研究機構埃默里大學報告稱，灰階比特幣迷你信託基金持有價值 1,510 萬美元的資產。

This unusual move for a higher education institution was revealed in an Oct. 25 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

10 月 25 日向美國證券交易委員會提交的文件揭露了高等教育機構這項不同尋常的舉措。

According to the SEC filing, Emory University holds nearly 2.7 million shares of the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust.

根據 SEC 的文件，埃默里大學持有灰階比特幣迷你信託基金近 270 萬股。

The tentative value of the holdings came around at approximately $15.1 million. This investment represents a major commitment to cryptocurrency exposure from an academic institution. This move also sets it apart from its peers in higher education.

所持股份的暫定價值約為 1510 萬美元。這項投資代表了學術機構對加密貨幣投資的重大承諾。這項舉措也使其在高等教育領域的同業中脫穎而出。

The Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust, approved in July, functions as an offshoot of the larger Grayscale Bitcoin Trust. The mini trust is designed to provide passive exposure to Bitcoin’s price movements at a lower share price.

灰階比特幣迷你信託基金於 7 月獲得批准，是規模更大的灰階比特幣信託基金的分支。迷你信託旨在以較低的股價提供對比特幣價格變動的被動敞口。

In addition to its Bitcoin (BTC) trust holdings, Emory also reported ownership of 4,312 shares in Coinbase, valued at $768,269. The cryptocurrency exchange’s stock, COIN, was valued at $205.05 at press time.

除了持有比特幣 (BTC) 信託資產外，埃默里大學還擁有 4,312 股 Coinbase 股票，價值 768,269 美元。截至發稿時，該加密貨幣交易所的股票 COIN 估值為 205.05 美元。

Emory's investment choices mark a distinctive approach among educational institutions. Previously, pension funds in Wisconsin and Jersey City have reported holdings in crypto-based exchange-traded products.

埃默里大學的投資選擇標誌著教育機構中獨特的做法。此前，威斯康辛州和澤西市的退休基金已報告持有基於加密貨幣的交易所交易產品。

However, Emory stands out as one of the few institutions of higher education to report owning such assets.

然而，埃默里大學是少數幾所報告擁有此類資產的高等教育機構之一。

This move by a prestigious university that was founded in 1836 could signal growing institutional acceptance of cryptocurrency-related investments within the academic sector.

一所成立於 1836 年的著名大學的這項舉措可能標誌著學術界對加密貨幣相關投資的機構接受度不斷提高。

The revelation by the university comes at a time when Bitcoin is struggling to sustain its upward momentum. Every time Bitcoin exhibits a bullish sign, various factors affect the overall market.

該大學的披露正值比特幣正在努力維持其上漲勢頭之際。每當比特幣呈現看漲跡象時，各種因素都會影響整個市場。

Bitcoin was down by over 2% at press time. The global crypto market cap is also down by almost 2% and stands at $2.27 trillion.

截至發稿時，比特幣下跌超過 2%。全球加密貨幣市值也下降了近 2%，降至 2.27 兆美元。
