Dartmouth College just made a notable move into Bitcoin—the Ivy League institution bought 201,531 shares of Bitcoin ETF worth around $10 million in late 2025, according to SEC filings. This isn't just loose change; it signals that major educational endowments are now seriously treating Bitcoin as a legitimate asset class. When prestigious institutions like Dartmouth start building Bitcoin positions at scale, you know the narrative around crypto adoption has shifted. The move reflects a broader pattern: institutional players are no longer sitting on the sidelines. Bitcoin ETF accessibility has made it easier for large portfolios to gain exposure without the operational headaches of direct custody. As more endowments and pension funds follow suit, this kind of institutional inflow could reshape how markets price Bitcoin over the next cycle.

Dartmouth's move is amazing; even the old prestigious schools are starting to buy the dip in BTC.

Dartmouth's recent moves are really unsustainable, and traditional institutions are starting to quietly buy the dip.

Dartmouth's recent move is really hard to hold back anymore, pouring 10 million into Bitcoin ETF... Now even Ivy League schools have to believe in crypto.
