Harvard indeed has a heavy position in SpaceX. But this news was misinterpreted by the market. On August 14, Harvard Management Company submitted its latest 13F filing. As of June 30, Harvard held 12,935,100 shares of SPCX, with a declared value of $2.21 billion. Its total 13F portfolio value is $4.263 billion. SPCX accounts for 51.8%, the largest holding. The second largest, TSMC, is only $350 million. The concentration is very exaggerated. Original SEC filing. But the statement "Harvard used half of its funds to buy SpaceX" is incorrect. The 13F only discloses qualifying U.S.-listed long positions. It is not Harvard's entire endowment fund, nor does it include a large amount of private equity, VC, hedge funds, and other assets. The 51.8% refers to SPCX's proportion of Harvard's 13F portfolio, not Harvard's total assets. The second misconception is even more important. This 13F cannot prove that Harvard spent $2.2 billion to buy SpaceX in Q2. SpaceX only went public on June 12. Private equity that originally did not need to appear in the 13F only entered the disclosure scope after going public. Therefore, these 12.935 million shares likely come from long-term holdings before the IPO or shares allocated to Harvard by private funds. But the specific purchase time, path, and cost are not disclosed in the 13F. The $2.21 billion is just the market value as of June 30. Back-calculating, the declared price is about $170.86 per share.
