Coinbase Global Inc (COIN) has now grabbed the top rank in ARKW at about 7.6% weight and the investment management firm held 1.05 million shares, worth $240.1 million, in the cryptocurrency-related business, prior to Friday’s trade.
The St. Petersburg, Florida-based Ark Invest has been selling shares in Tesla for months now. It has also been piling up shares in Coinbase, placing its bets in the cryptocurrency-related fintech stocks on the dip.
Besides ARKW, Ark Invest also owns shares in Tesla via the Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK) and the Ark Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETF (ARKQ). Tesla shares closed 1.75% higher at $1,049.6 a share on Friday. The stock is up about 24.3% in the past one year.
In contrast, Coinbase shares are down about 8.4% so far this year and have plummeted about 30% since going public last year in April.
