Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest continues Coinbase selling spree, offloads another $27 million worth of COIN

Ark Invest sold another 106,000 Coinbase shares across three of its exchange-traded funds on Tuesday, worth $27.2 million, according to the company’s latest trade filing.

The Cathie Wood-led investment firm offloaded 66,387 shares ($17.1 million) from its Innovation ETF (ARKK), 9,123 shares ($2.3 million) from its Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW) and 30,490 shares ($7.8 million) from its Fintech Innovation ETF (ARKF).

Following the $69 million worth of COIN Ark sold on Monday, the investment manager has offloaded nearly $100 million worth of Coinbase shares already this week as it continues to rebalance its fund weightings amid a continued price surge for the stock. 

Ark’s investment strategy aims to let no individual holding take up more than 10% of an ETF's portfolio to maintain diversification within its funds. According to the firm's latest disclosures, Coinbase remains the largest holding within the ARKK, ARKW and ARKF ETFs — with current weightings at 10.9%, 12.1% and 12.4%, respectively.

ARKK’s Coinbase holdings have a market value of $852 million, with ARKW and ARKF’s COIN weightings valued at $211 million and $143 million at current prices. Overall, the ARKK, ARKW and ARKF funds are up 67.6%, 96.9% and 93.3% over the past year, respectively.
