After an impressive earnings report in Q1 for Robinhood, Ark Invest has splurged $10M to acquire HOOD stock. Despite predicting a massive Bitcoin rally in the coming months, the investment firm is diversifying its holdings to include Robinhood, AMD, 10X Genomics, and altcoins.
Ark Invest Buys 210,714 Robinhood Shares
Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest has increased its footprint in the markets over the last day with significant investment in a raft of companies. According to an X post by Ark Invest Daily, the investment firm has splurged nearly $10 million to purchase 210,714 shares of Robinhood Markets Inc. (HOOD).
The heavy stock acquisition follows the release of Robinhood’s earnings report for Q1 2025. Robinhood’s earnings beat Wall Street expectations with total revenue within inches of $1 billion in the first three months of 2025.
Ark Invest scooped up 210,714 HOOD at a premium as shares traded at $46.62, a 5% drop over the last day. The sizable investment was made by the Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK), a fund investing in disruptive technologies.
Apart from buying Robinhood shares, the ARKK fund acquired 186,812 shares of Guardant Health for $9.1 million. The fund made sizable purchases in Advanced Micro Devices and 10X Genomics over the last day.
However, Ark Invest has sold off significant holdings in Roblox Group, Veracyte, and Palantir in the last 24 hours. The Ark Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETF purchased 184,742 shares of Aurora Innovation Inc. while selling 37,591 in Kratos Defense and Security Solutions Inc.
Why Is The Cathie Woods-Led Firm Reducing Its Bitcoin Exposure?
Recent market activities by Ark Invest suggest that the company is diversifying its portfolio. A month ago, the company halted its Bitcoin purchase in favour of other altcoins in a frenzied diversification push.
Ark Invest has gained its first exposure to Solana (SOL) as it continues its diversification strategy. The recent plays in the stock market are accentuating a changing stance for the investment giant.
The company may be diversifying and reducing its BTC exposure in anticipation of a coming US recession, as predicted by Cathie Wood. Another reason for halting BTC purchases may be part of a rebalancing of its portfolio or nimble market maneuvering to seize fresh opportunities.
Despite the change in stance, Ark Invest says Bitcoin can break $1 million by the end of the decade. Conservative estimates see the firm predict a base case of $710,000 per BTC and a bear case of $300,000 by 2030. At the moment, Bitcoin price is trading at the $96,000 mark in a strong show of bullishness over the last week.
