Deep Dive
Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest has increased its holdings in crypto-related equities, acquiring shares of Coinbase and Robinhood Markets across several of its exchange-traded funds (ETFs) amidst a broader market downturn.
Ark Invest purchased a total of 22,452 Coinbase shares across its ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW), and ARK Fintech Innovation ETF (ARKF). Valued at approximately $4.1 million based on Coinbase's closing price of $182.36, these acquisitions occurred on Tuesday.
Concurrently, the firm acquired 158,587 Robinhood shares through the same ETFs. With Robinhood closing at $76.07, this transaction was valued at around $12 million.
These purchases were made as global markets experienced pressure due to escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, leading to declines in major indices. Both Coinbase and Robinhood saw their stock prices fall during the trading session, with Coinbase down 1.55% and Robinhood down 3.44%.
Ark's filings revealed these trades were part of wider portfolio rebalancing. The firm also increased its stake in companies such as Roblox, Shopify, Amazon, DraftKings, CoreWeave, Genius Sports, BioNTech, and Eli Lilly. Conversely, Ark reduced its positions in Roku, Baidu, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Nextdoor, PagerDuty, and several healthcare stocks.
ETF analyst James Seyffart noted on X that ARK executed a larger volume of trades than usual on Tuesday.
