Ark Invest, led by fund manager Cathie Wood, bought additional Coinbase (COIN) shares worth $13.4 million for three of its exchange-traded funds on Friday as the stock dipped around 5%, reacting to broader turmoil in the market.
The ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) bought 54,988 COIN shares on Friday, according to its latest disclosures. The shares, worth $8.8 million at current prices, add to ARKK’s existing stash, which now sums to $342 million in value, comprising about 7.5% of the fund.
