According to Ark’s July 21 trading disclosures, the firm added 4.4 million BitMine Immersion (BMNR) shares to three of its actively managed exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This marks a notable strategic pivot as institutional interest in Ethereum treasury strategies continues to rise.
The breakdown of the purchase shows Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK) acquiring 2,937,432 BMNR shares, Ark Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW) taking 927,898 shares, and Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (ARKF) adding 555,704 shares.
In tandem with its BitMine acquisition, Ark Invest has reduced exposure to three prominent crypto-linked stocks.
The firm sold 218,986 shares of Coinbase for roughly $90.6 million, 109,824 shares of Robinhood for $11.46 million, and 90,061 shares of Block for about $7 million. These sales spanned across ARKK, ARKW, and ARKF.
