Overview of SpaceX's institutional holdings: Alphabet holds $94.18 billion at the top, while Nvidia holds $20.98 billion

As SpaceX went public on June 12 on Nasdaq, the Q2 13F reports first focused on disclosing institutional holdings after its listing. According to third-party 13F platform Giantsight, as of June 30, approximately 1,697 reporting entities disclosed their positions in SpaceX, covering various types of funds including pre-listing investors, venture capital, asset management institutions, and pensions.SEC filings show that Alphabet, Google's parent company, reported holding 551 million shares of SpaceX (valued at $94.18 billion), making it the largest 13F reported position currently; Valor Management holds 503 million shares ($86.01 billion), FMR LLC holds 303 million shares ($51.66 billion), Gigafund Management holds 172 million shares ($29.36 billion), and the Saudi Public Investment Fund holds 154 million shares ($26.34 billion), while BAMCO under Baron holds 146 million shares ($24.91 billion).Other key reporting entities include Nvidia holding 123 million shares ($20.98 billion), Baillie Gifford holding 51.4 million shares ($8.78 billion), BlackRock holding 51.04 million common shares ($8.72 billion), Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan holding 50.68 million shares ($8.66 billion), and Harvard University's endowment holding 12.935 million shares ($2.21 billion).In terms of source of holdings, Alphabet and Gigafund are pre-listing investors in SpaceX; Nvidia's position in SpaceX comes from its prior investment in xAI. FMR, BAMCO, BlackRock, and Baillie Gifford mainly represent asset management funds. The aforementioned positions first appeared in the 13F and do not imply that the related institutions all purchased from the secondary market after SpaceX's listing.The amounts mentioned are the end-of-period reported values as of June 30. On that day, SpaceX closed at $170.86, and as of August 14, it closed at $140, a decline of approximately 18.1% from the end of the quarter. If the number of shares held has not changed, the current market value of the related common stock positions would correspondingly decrease. The 13F primarily reflects long positions in reportable securities at the end of the quarter and some held options, without disclosing short stock positions, option sell positions, specific purchase times, transaction costs, or trades after the end of the quarter.

Harvard Fund disclosed holdings of $2.21 billion in SpaceX shares, while Bitcoin ETF holdings remained unchanged

Harvard University's latest 13F filing shows that as of June 30, it still holds 3,044,600 shares of BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF IBIT, valued at approximately $101.4 million, with the number of shares unchanged from the end of the first quarter, ending a previous trend of two consecutive quarters of reduction. Harvard reduced its IBIT holdings by 21% in the fourth quarter of 2025 and by another 43% in the first quarter of 2026.Currently, IBIT accounts for about 2.4% of Harvard's disclosed $4.26 billion U.S. stock portfolio. Its gold-related product holdings are even more valuable; as of the end of the second quarter, the combined value of iShares Gold Trust (IAU) and SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) is approximately $171.2 million. Harvard has previously liquidated its position in BlackRock's spot Ethereum ETF, valued at $86.8 million, and did not add any new Ethereum-related positions in the second quarter.Harvard University's largest holding is SpaceX, totaling 12,935,100 shares, valued at $2.21 billion, making it the largest single stock holding disclosed in the filing. The total value of U.S. stock assets disclosed by Harvard this time is approximately $4.3 billion, meaning that the SpaceX holding accounts for 52%.Among other institutions, the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund Mubadala and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority each maintained their holdings of 14,721,900 shares and 8,218,700 shares of IBIT, respectively, with a combined value of approximately $764 million. JPMorgan increased its IBIT holdings from about 8.3 million shares to 10.4 million shares; Morgan Stanley reduced its holdings from 17.3 million shares to about 16.5 million shares, a decrease of 4.5%.

The leak of French tax data affects nearly 678,000 people, which may exacerbate the risk of violent attacks against cryptocurrency holders

The French Minister of Finance confirmed that hackers breached the French Public Finance Directorate system at the end of June and stole personal and corporate taxpayer data. According to the platform FrenchBreaches, which tracks cyberattacks in France, this incident affected approximately 678,437 people, equivalent to about 1% of the French population, but the exact number is still under investigation and has not been finally confirmed.The leaked data reportedly includes sensitive information such as names, birth dates, home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, tax identification information, and income data. Among them, nearly 27,000 individuals had tax incomes of at least 100,000 euros, 386 exceeded 1 million euros, and another 8 exceeded 10 million euros. Reports indicate that the database has been sold on the dark web market for thousands of euros. The attackers, calling themselves ZeroBytes, claimed they extracted the relevant records using an internal search tool, which was only discovered later when access was cut off.This incident has raised concerns in the cryptocurrency industry, as there has been a noticeable increase in "wrench attack" violent robbery incidents targeting cryptocurrency holders in France in recent years. If high-income individuals' addresses and contact information are leaked, it could provide criminals with a more precise target list.

Gray Research Director: ETH and SOL may face supply contraction, and the reduction of inflation mechanisms will strengthen token scarcity

Grayscale Research Director Zach Pandl stated that the two major blockchain networks, Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL), are considering adjusting their token economic models to enhance asset scarcity by reducing future token supply growth through lowering annual inflation rates. As important native assets supporting stablecoins and tokenized asset ecosystems, the prices of ETH and SOL are primarily determined by supply and demand dynamics. If the relevant code upgrade proposals are approved, under unchanged conditions, lower supply growth may provide support for token prices.According to Grayscale's analysis, if the relevant adjustments are implemented, the supply inflation rates of BTC, ETH, and SOL will continue to decline over the next five years. By the end of 2031, the annual inflation rates for Bitcoin and Ethereum are expected to be around 0.4%, and Solana around 1.1%, which is lower than gold's annual supply growth rate of about 1.8% and the U.S. CPI inflation level of about 3.3%. Currently, these token economic adjustments are still in the community discussion phase. Among them, the Solana-related proposal has gained broader support and has a higher likelihood of implementation; the Ethereum proposal still requires further discussion.If the adjustments are implemented, staking users may face reduced token rewards, as part of the staking income comes from the issuance of new tokens. However, due to the decline in the growth rate of circulating supply, the scarcity value of the tokens may increase, potentially providing price support. For ETH and SOL holders who do not participate in staking, they may benefit directly; the final returns for stakers will depend on the balance between the decrease in rewards and the increase in prices. Zach Pandl concluded that ETH and SOL are becoming important digital commodities supporting stablecoins and the tokenization of real assets, and the economic model adjustments aimed at reducing inflation may further strengthen their scarcity attributes.
