Bitcoin and gold have now become leading assets, with investors flocking towards them to safeguard their wealth from rapid dollar depreciation. With the USD’s plunging stance as of late, Morgan Stanley expects the US dollar to fall further, driven by the strict US tariff structure and policies. In addition to this, Harvard University BTC stats have surfaced online, with the entity ensuring its stake in safe haven assets like BTC and gold. Is this the era where digital assets acquire a new financial identity?

Harvard University’s Bitcoin Stash Unveiled

As per the latest tweet by Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan, Harvard University currently owns nearly $443M in BTC, ramping it up by $326M in Q3. Moreover, Hougan emphasized how the university has also increased its gold exposure in the form of ETFs, from $102M to $223M.

Hougan was quick to draw striking insights, sharing how the university has decided to double its stake in Bitcoin as Harvard explores debasement trade as its backup.

“Harvard ramped up its bitcoin investment in Q3 from $117m to $443m. It also boosted its gold ETF allocation from $102m to $235m. Think about that for a second: Harvard decided to put on a debasement trade, and it allocated bitcoin 2-to-1 over gold.”

Debasement trade, in simple words, refers to an investment strategy where investors allocate their holdings into other assets, fearing that excessive monetary policies and government intervention may “debase” fiat currencies like the USD or the Euro, etc.

Bitcoin to $100,000?

Despite BTC’s frequent bouts of volatility these days, Fundstrat’s Tom Lee has once again predicted a $100,000 mark for Bitcoin by the end of 2025.

“But you’re right, you know, we were too optimistic about this happening by December. But I do think Bitcoin can make an all-time high by the end of January. So I don’t think we should think the highs are in place for Bitcoin or Ethereum or crypto. So a lot of it’s going to depend on equities recovering, which we expect it to, and that helps the animal spirits. And I think a new Fed share will help. And we have, as Becky said, when people got worried about a hawkish Fed, that kind of hurts the discount models, the discounted cash flow models, like AI models, but it hurts crypto models, too.
