ARK Invest took advantage of Monday's massive market slump to make its first purchases of Coinbase (COIN) and Robinhood (HOOD) shares in months.
Cathie Wood's investment management firm bought $17.8 million of COIN, its first purchase of the crypto exchange's stock since June 6 2023 when it bought $21.6 million worth.
ARK also added $11.2 million of crypto-friendly online brokerage Robinhood shares, the first time it has bought HOOD since Feb. 13.
COIN lost 7.3% on Monday to close at $189.47 amid a market sell-off in which crypto and global stock markets experienced one of their sharpest losses in recent years. HOOD lost 8.17%, falling to $16.42.
ARK Invest often loads up on shares when their prices slide, usually with a view to offloading them one their prices tick up again. The company aims to avoid having one particular holding accounting for a weighting of more than 10% of any of its exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which drove much selling of COIN in recent months.
Following Monday's purchases, COIN accounts for 8.55% of ARK's Innovation ETF (ARKK), 6.73% of its Next Generation Internet fund (ARKW) and 9.72% of its Fintech Innovation ETF (ARKF).
