ARK has been selling off its holdings of COIN as the stock continues to perform well. On July 14, it disclosed it had sold 480,000 COIN shares across three funds, worth $50.5 million based on the day’s closing prices. The previous week it sold $12 million as the stock rallied.
“We’re very positive about Coinbase, especially in light of the court ruling for Ripple against the SEC,” Wood recently said on Bloomberg Daybreak Asia. “We’re simply taking profits and reallocating the capital to some laggards.”
Wood recently said that ARK has written down its stake in Twitter by 47% since Elon Musk took it private last year.

Mike McGlone softens bitcoin downside target to $28,000 after backlash over $10,000 call
Market analysts said the extreme downside scenario risked influencing real capital flows, prompting a heated public debate over bitcoin’s macro outlook.
What to know:
- Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Mike McGlone has shifted his bitcoin downside target from $10,000 to about $28,000 after criticism that his earlier call was alarmist and risky for investors.
- McGlone now argues that $28,000 is a more probable level based on historical price distribution and maintains that his analysis shows why investors should avoid bitcoin and other risk assets.
- Critics including Jason Fernandes and Mati Greenspan say the revised $28,000 target is still unlikely or overly deterministic, warning that such stark forecasts can distort positioning and put real capital at risk in reflexive crypto markets.
