Context on Crypto Market Performance

The expansion of ARK Invest’s positions comes amid recent volatility in the crypto sector. Bitcoin has dropped more than 47% from its October 2025 peak near $126,000, affecting trading volumes and investor activity.

Coinbase recently reported a $667 million loss in Q4, with revenue falling approximately 20% year over year. Non-GAAP earnings of $0.66 per share were 30% below analyst expectations. Shares of Coinbase fell 7.9% before rebounding 3% in after-hours trading.

Despite the quarterly loss, Coinbase saw full-year growth, with trading volume reaching $5.2 trillion in 2025. Revenue from subscriptions and services totaled $2.8 billion, with roughly one million paying subscribers. The platform expanded offerings, including perpetual futures, prediction markets, and equity trading.

ARK Invest Strategy and Outlook

ARK Invest continues to focus on crypto-linked stocks through its ETFs. Cathie Wood’s firm aims to capture potential gains from digital asset adoption and related financial services.

The purchases in Bitmine, Bullish, and Robinhood indicate ARK’s continued commitment to crypto equities despite broader market fluctuations. This strategy reflects the firm’s ongoing investment approach of building stakes over multiple trading sessions.
