Cathie Wood's Ark Invest Sheds $9.3M Worth Of Coinbase Shares Amid Bitcoin Rally ā€” Robinhood Stock Also Sold

Author: Benzinga Neuro | February 27, 2024 11:35pm

On Tuesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest adjusted its portfolio, making significant trades. Among these, the firm’s decision to sell $9.3 million worth of Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:COIN) shares stood out, especially as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and other cryptocurrencies continue to soar.

Bitcoin hit a 27-month high of around $57,000, driving optimism fueled by investments in spot Bitcoin ETFs. Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) also experienced a significant rally. Analysts predict potential corrections but foresee a bullish trajectory, with projections of the apex coin reaching $88,000 by 2024.

The Coinbase Trade

The firm sold 46,531 Coinbase shares through its flagship ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:ARKK). On Tuesday, Coinbase shares closed 2.7% higher at $199.22.

Ark Invest’s sale of Coinbase shares comes at a time when the cryptocurrency exchange is positioned favorably within the market, as highlighted in recent Benzinga coverage. Despite this, the firm offloaded a significant portion of its holdings, aligning with Cathie Wood’s earlier comments on the company being “in the right place at the right time” after a previous sale.

The Robinhood Trade

On Tuesday, Ark sold 234,053 Robinhood shares through ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSE:ARKW) and Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (NYSE:ARKF). For the day, Robinhood shares closed 4.2% higher at $16.25.

A day earlier, Ark Invest sold Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:HOOD) shares following the company’s Q4 earnings report, which showcased a revenue beat and a promising start to the first quarter. During that sale, a total of $6.9 million worth of shares were offloaded by Ark.

Other Key Trades:

  • Ark Invest increased its investment in Unity Software Inc (NYSE:U), buying shares across multiple funds, signaling strong confidence in the company’s growth prospects.
  • The firm also showed interest in the healthcare sector, with purchases of Veracyte Inc (NASDAQ:VCYT) and Natera Inc (NASDAQ:NTRA), underscoring a diversification strategy beyond tech and crypto.
  • Despite the bullish moves on select stocks, Ark sold off shares in Twilio Inc (NYSE:TWLO) and Teladoc Inc (NYSE:TDOC), reflecting a strategic pivot or reallocation within its portfolio.
