Dartmouth Endowment’s Crypto ETF Exposure Falls by $2 Million

1 reports · First detected 2026-08-15 · Last active 2026-08-15

Dartmouth College’s endowment uses regulated exchange-traded funds to gain exposure to Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana, placing the Ivy League school among US institutions testing digital assets through publicly traded vehicles. The positions matter because they show how traditional endowment managers can access crypto without holding tokens directly, while underscoring that reported values remain highly sensitive to swings in the underlying assets.

In a Form 13F covering the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Trustees of Dartmouth College reported that share counts in its three crypto-linked ETFs were unchanged from March 31. Even so, their combined market value fell by more than $2 million over the three months to about $12.4 million, a decline of roughly 15%, as prices for major digital assets weakened. The filing indicates a mark-to-market drop rather than an active reduction in the positions.
