Coinbase stock has been surging as bitcoin [BTC] climbs. The largest cryptocurrency by market cap has added about 150% this year, while Coinbase has almost quadrupled.
St. Petersburg, FL-based ARK Invest’s policy is to keep the maximum weight of any given company in its holding to 10%. The recent rally in COIN stock, which last month touched highs not seen since April 2022, means its weighting in the three ETFs remains in excess of that level even after recent divestments that include Friday’s $49 million sale, the largest since July.
This month, ARK Invest has sold more than $120 million of Coinbase shares, based on closing prices.
