Ark Invest Sells $64 Million in Crypto Holdings Amid Market Surge
Ark Invest has divested approximately $64 million in cryptocurrency-related holdings, including shares in Coinbase, Circle, Bitmine, Bullish, and its own Bitcoin ETF, ARKB. This decision was made during a period of market strength, aligning with the investment strategy of Cathie Wood, which typically involves buying during market dips and selling during rallies.
The sale included significant positions in major players such as Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States, and Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin. Additionally, Ark reduced its stake in Bitmine, a Bitcoin mining operation, and Bullish, an exchange backed by notable investors like Peter Thiel. The firm also sold shares of its own Bitcoin ETF to manage Bitcoin exposure relative to its other investments.
Despite the substantial figure of $64 million, it is important to note that Ark's overall crypto-related holdings across its flagship ETFs—ARKK, ARKW, and ARKF—have historically been valued in the hundreds of millions. For instance, Ark's position in Coinbase alone has been valued at around $609 million, with Circle and Bitmine holdings also significantly higher than the recent trims.
This recent sale follows a similar pattern observed in July 2026, when Ark trimmed about $4.4 million in positions while simultaneously increasing its investments in Coinbase and Circle. Such rebalancing is a strategy to mitigate risk by preventing any single investment from disproportionately affecting the fund's overall performance. Ark Invest continues to be a major institutional player in the cryptocurrency sector, holding substantial positions in various crypto-related equities.
