Cathie Wood Scoops Up $9M More In This Crypto-Linked Stock
Cathie Wood-led Ark Investment Management on Thursday scooped up more shares in Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) Global Inc (NASDAQ: COIN) as it continued raising its exposure to the cryptocurrency exchange.
Ark Invest bought 127,210 shares — estimated to be worth $8.88 million— in Coinbase.
Shares of the cryptocurrency exchange platform closed 4% higher at $69.8 on Thursday. The stock is down 72.2% year-to-date.
Coinbase allows the trading of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE).
The Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) and cryptocurrency bull has filed another application for its physical Bitcoin ETF, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The regulator had previously rejected Ark Invest’s application, and Wood had said then that the investment firm would reapply.
