ARK Invest Buys $93M in Crypto, Tech Stocks Amid Volatility

ARK Invest, the investment firm led by Cathie Wood, continued its strategy of acquiring shares in cryptocurrency-related and technology companies during a period of market volatility, purchasing millions in assets including Coinbase, Block, and Circle on November 25, 2025. The moves, executed primarily through its flagship ARK Innovation ETF and other funds, came as Bitcoin traded around 88,000, down sharply from its recent peak of 126,000 six weeks earlier.

On that Tuesday, ARK Invest spent approximately 13.5 million on 212,538 shares of Block Inc., which closed at 63.69 after a 2.96 daily gain but remained down 20.54 over the past month. The firm also acquired 108,450 shares of Circle Internet Group for about 7.6 million, with the stock closing at 70.11 following a 3.62 decline that day and a 51 percent drop in the prior month. Additionally, ARK bought 62,166 shares of Coinbase Global for 16.47 million earlier in the week, bolstering its position in the exchange, which now ranks as the fourth-largest holding in the ARK Innovation ETF at 391 million, or 5.22 percent of the portfolio. Coinbase closed at 264.97, up 4.27 for the day but off 30 percent monthly.
