Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest buys $31.5M in Coinbase shares amid market dip

Ark Invest Acquires $31.5M in Coinbase Shares Amid Market Decline

  • Ark Invest purchased 199,401 Coinbase shares worth approximately $31.51 million over three days as prices fell.
  • The Cathie Wood-led firm takes advantage of market dips to maintain balanced portfolio allocations below 10% per holding.
  • Coinbase shares have dropped over 15% amid broader cryptocurrency and equity market declines following Trump’s tariff announcements.

ARK Invest has acquired 199,401 Coinbase (COIN) shares over a three-day period as cryptocurrency and equity markets experienced a significant downturn. The investment management firm, led by Cathie Wood, made purchases of 83,157 shares on Friday, followed by 84,514 on Monday and 31,730 on Tuesday, according to the company’s daily emailed statements.

Based on closing prices, ARK’s recent Coinbase acquisitions would have cost approximately $31.51 million. The current value of these shares has declined to about $29.3 million following Tuesday’s closing price, reflecting the ongoing market volatility.

The St. Petersburg, Florida-based investment company follows a strategy of preventing any single holding from exceeding 10% of an exchange-traded fund’s total value. This approach creates buying opportunities when specific stocks experience price declines, allowing ARK to maintain balanced portfolio allocations.

Market Turmoil Triggers Buying Opportunity

Coinbase shares have fallen more than 15% over the past week amid a broader market downturn. The decline coincides with steep import tariffs announced by U.S. President Donald Trump, which have rattled both cryptocurrency and traditional equity markets.

The wider market has shown similar distress, with Bitcoin dropping approximately 8% over the past week. Meanwhile, major stock indices have suffered even greater losses, with both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq experiencing declines exceeding 10%.

ARK’s Consistent “Buy the Dip” Strategy

This purchase continues ARK’s established pattern of accumulating shares during market downturns. The firm has gained recognition for its “buy the dip” approach, particularly with growth-oriented technology and cryptocurrency-related investments.

The investment manager’s latest Coinbase acquisitions demonstrate continued confidence in the cryptocurrency exchange despite the recent market volatility. ARK Invest has maintained substantial positions in several crypto-related companies as part of its growth-focused investment strategy.

Market observers note that ARK’s willingness to increase positions during market turbulence aligns with the firm’s long-term investment philosophy, which prioritizes disruptive innovation and technological advancement over short-term market fluctuations.
