Cathie Wood Increases Stakes in Meta and CoreWeave After Meta Moves to Sell Excess AI Compute

Ark’s purchases signal strong conviction in AI infrastructure with greater exposure to CoreWeave’s competitive risk from Meta’s plan to monetize surplus compute.

Overview

  • Ark’s funds bought 34,080 Meta shares on Thursday, July 9, 2026, a trade worth roughly $22.8 million that came the same day Meta launched its Muse Spark 1.1 AI coding model.
  • Meta announced on Friday, July 10, 2026, that it plans to sell excess AI computing capacity and its shares rose about 6% after the company disclosed the move.
  • Cathie Wood continued to add CoreWeave stock through several recent trades, bringing ARK’s holding to about 1.6 million shares worth roughly $146 million and making CoreWeave a top-20 position in ARKK.
  • CoreWeave reported Q1 2026 revenue of about $2.1 billion (up 114% year over year), a backlog near $100 billion, a net loss near $740 million, roughly $35 billion of debt, and raised full-year capex guidance to $31–$35 billion while targeting $12–$13 billion in revenue.
  • Ark’s concentrated buys show a high-conviction bet on AI infrastructure despite ARKK’s five-year annualized return of -8.42% versus the S&P 500’s 11.63%, and Meta’s plan to monetize spare compute could pressure third-party cloud GPU providers such as CoreWeave and reshape customer pricing and contracts.
