This post was originally published on this site.
ARK Invest sold $17.4 million worth of Coinbase (COIN) stock and bought a similar amount in Bullish (BLSH) stock on Thursday as crypto equities were routed.
Cathie Wood’s investment management company sold 119,236 COIN shares, worth $17.4 million as of Thursday’s close. COIN lost 13.3% on the day to close at $146.12 amid ongoing tanking of the crypto market which has seen bitcoin fall as low as $60,000, its lowest point since November 2024.

ARK also bought 716,030 shares in crypto exchange Bullish, according to an emailed disclosure. The shares are worth $17.8 million, based on BLSH’s closing price of $24.90, nearly 8.5% lower on the day. Bullish is also the parent company of CoinDesk.
It is common to see ARK Invest make sizeable purchases of crypto-adjacent companies when their prices slide due to broader downturns in the cryptocurrency market. The Florida-based company attempts to capitalize on the chance to capture greater value from equities and rebalance the holdings of its funds to reflect the different prices.
However, it is somewhat rarer to see ARK use this as a window to offload shares in a major crypto holding such as Coinbase.
