Where's the ValueType stored when CLR initialize the data structure to store them

I know Value Type instances stored in the stack and Reference Type instances stored in the heap. But, after the CLR ensure all the assemblies which define the Type have loaded, it will create some data structures to store the type object, the reference type object will stored in the heap, where's the value type objects stored?

The Type objects for different types are reference types, i.e. Type is a class, so they are all stored on the heap.

Note that value types are only stored on the stack if they are local variables in a method. If they are members of a class, they will be stored on the heap as part of the instance of that class.
