U.S. Pension Fund Invests Heavily in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs
Michigan has made a significant leap into cryptocurrency investments, revealing its holdings in Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in a recent 13F filing with the SEC.
The Michigan Retirement System, which manages around $144 million in pension funds, invested over $6.9 million in the ARK/21Shares Bitcoin ETF, comprising approximately 110,000 shares.
Additionally, it has become the first state pension fund to invest in an Ethereum ETF, totaling about $10 million, which positions Michigan among the top five holders of Ethereum and the Grayscale Ethereum Trust.
In contrast, Wisconsin’s investment board has disclosed Bitcoin ETF holdings, including those from BlackRock and Grayscale. The quarterly 13F filings provide insights into institutional investment strategies, revealing that spot Bitcoin ETFs are experiencing a six-month high in demand.
