Ark Invest is increasing its holdings of COIN and HOOD on dips, continuously adding to crypto-related stocks

On March 4th, Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest once again increased its holdings of CEX and Robinhood stocks through its ETFs, continuing to expand its exposure to crypto-related stocks amid global market volatility. Trading documents show that Ark bought a total of 22,452 shares of CEX through its ETFs ARKK, ARKW, and ARKF on Tuesday, valued at approximately $4.09 million based on the closing price of $182.36. At the same time, it purchased 158,587 shares of Robinhood, worth about $12.06 million at the closing price of $76.07. Recently, due to geopolitical uncertainties such as the US-Iran conflict, US stocks have been under pressure, with CEX falling 1.55% and Robinhood dropping 3.44% on Tuesday. This increase in holdings continues Ark’s long-term optimism for crypto platforms. Since 2026, Ark has been adjusting its crypto-related stock positions, frequently increasing its holdings of CEX and Robinhood during downturns, and also buying stocks of Circle and Bullish exchanges. According to Ark’s disclosures, as of March 3rd, COIN is the sixth-largest holding in its ARKK fund, with a 4.21% allocation valued at approximately $281 million; HOOD ranks seventh with a 4.07% allocation; Circle ranks eighth with a 4.05% allocation.
