Here’s a detailed breakdown of the recent filings:
Cathie Wood's Ark Invest has been making adjustments to its portfolio, trimming holdings in both chipmakers and Coinbase.
Chipmakers:
- Ark Autonomous Technology and Robotics ETF sold shares of TSMC (first sale since late 2021) and Nvidia.
- This follows Ark's ongoing portfolio rebalancing as chip stock prices surge (Nvidia up 59% and TSMC up 25% year-to-date).
- Ark still holds around 221,848 shares of TSMC.
- Previously, Cathie Wood was bullish on AI, investing in software companies like UiPath and Twilio instead of chipmakers.
- Due to recent price increases, both TSMC and Nvidia have fallen out of the fund's top 10 holdings.
Coinbase:
- Ark Invest sold a total of 96,435 Coinbase shares ($16 million) across three ETFs in the past week.
- This is part of Ark's strategy to rebalance fund weightings despite a recent 30% surge in Coinbase's price.
- Coinbase stock remains down over 50% from its all-time high, though it's up 160% in the past year.
Overall, these sales indicate that Ark Invest is adjusting its portfolio to reflect current market conditions and its long-term investment strategies.

Musk Pitches Bitcoin As Pillar Of America Party
Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant.
The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year.
Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus.
Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses.
Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
