Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest Buys Coinbase Shares Again

Ark Invest bought another 19,892 shares of Coinbase worth $3.9 million through three of its exchange-traded funds on Tuesday, continuing to rebalance its funds' holdings after Monday's market plunge.

The Cathie Wood-led investment firm bought 13,833 shares worth $2.7 million for its ARKK ETF, 2,743 shares ($533,000) through its ARKW ETF and 3,316 shares $644,000 for its ARKF, according to the company’s latest trading documents.

The latest acquisitions follow another Coinbase stock purchase valued at $17.8 million that Ark purchased for the same funds on Monday.

Ark’s investment strategy includes the idea that no single position should take up more than 10% of an ETF’s portfolio. The idea behind these actions is to maintain diversification within the funds, which means Ark will likely continue to rebalance COIN’s stake if stocks rise or fall significantly relative to Ark’s other fund holdings.
