ARK Invest Redirects Capital Toward Crypto Platform
The firm increased its stake in Bullish after the exchange reported strong first-quarter results while trimming Taiwan Semiconductor to lock in gains.
Overview
- ARK disclosed on May 21 that it purchased 139,117 shares of Bullish across three ETFs for about $5.14 million, according to its daily trade filing.
- The May 21 buying was split across ARKK, ARKW and ARKF, with ARKK taking 99,580 shares, ARKW 27,057 shares, and ARKF 12,480 shares.
- The trade continued a multi-day accumulation pattern, following roughly $3.1 million of Bullish purchases reported the day before.
- On the same May 21 filing ARK sold 2,131 shares of Taiwan Semiconductor from ARKW for about $867,637, reflecting a series of small sales over the prior week as TSMC traded near its highs.
- Reporters say the moves fit ARK’s active strategy of concentrating in high‑conviction ideas and harvesting gains from strong performers, a shift that could raise the crypto exchange’s weight in ARK’s ETFs if buying continues.
