ARK Invest Rebalances Portfolio: Trims Tech, Boosts Fintech and Chinese Holdings
Cathie Wood's ARK Invest executed significant portfolio adjustments last week, capitalizing on gains in semiconductor and e-commerce positions while doubling down on fintech and Chinese tech exposure. The firm sold $5.57 million worth of AMD shares and $6.53 million in Shopify stock, reflecting profit-taking in two of 2025's strongest performers.
ARK pivoted toward crypto-adjacent equities with a $30.9 million Block Inc. purchase across three ETFs, signaling continued conviction in digital payment infrastructure. The move coincides with Robinhood's $21 million position increase, reinforcing ARK's bet on retail trading platforms as cryptocurrency adoption grows.
Chinese tech saw renewed interest with $6.18 million allocated to Baidu and over 61,000 Alibaba shares acquired. This contrarian play suggests ARK views recent regulatory pressures as temporary headwinds for China's tech sector.
