ARK also purchased $7.81 million of shares in the crypto-friendly investment platform Robinhood (HOOD), $3.25 million in Ethereum treasury company Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR), and $1.8 million in Jack Dorsey’s fintech firm Block (XYZ).
These equities are included in ARK’s ARKK, ARKW, and ARKF exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
The share prices of all the mentioned companies have declined recently due to the downturn in the crypto market, which saw bitcoin drop to as low as $73,100 on Tuesday, marking its lowest value since late 2024.
CRCL and COIN both saw declines of approximately 4.5% on Tuesday, while BLSH fell just under 4%.
ARK consistently takes advantage of weaknesses in the crypto market to potentially acquire greater value from equities. Tuesday’s actions came after larger purchases the previous day, when ARK added $32.7 million in HOOD, $9.4 million in CRCL, and $6 million in BLSH.
