SpaceX Stake Drives Harvard Endowment to Record $68 Billion

Startups5 days ago

A 27% annual return added $11 billion to Harvard University's total assets during the fiscal year ending in June. Donations of $1.5 billion further bolstered the fund, pushing its total valuation to an all-time high of $68 billion.

The surge was driven by holdings in artificial intelligence and a $2.2 billion stake in SpaceX, the fund's top asset. The aerospace company's June listing was the largest initial public offering in history, leaving Harvard's position in the company worth more than all of the endowment's other reported public holdings combined.
