🔥Buying the Dip! Cathie Wood Adds BLSH, Reduces PINS/RDDT — Will You Follow?
The crypto market is tumbling, but Cathie Wood is buying the dip.
On Monday (Nov 17), Ark Invest — led by well-known Wall Street fund manager Cathie Wood — purchased roughly $10.2 million worth of $Bullish(BLSH)$ shares across three of its ETFs, expanding the firm’s exposure to crypto-related assets.
According to Ark’s latest trades:
ARKK: +191,195 shares
ARKW: +56,660 shares
ARKF: +29,208 shares
Across three days, Ark has accumulated more than 530,000 shares of Bullish.
Here's every move Cathie Wood and Ark Invest made in the stock market on Nov 18:
At the same time Ark was adding to Bullish, the crypto market was undergoing heavy volatility. $Bitcoin(BTC.USD.HKCC)$ fell below $92,000, down more than 26% from its October peak, while $Bullish(BLSH)$ dropped around 4.5% on the day. Even so, Ark continued to “buy into weakness.”
This wasn’t an isolated move — Ark has been loading up on key on-chain assets
Over the past week, Ark has been consistently adding to core crypto infrastructure plays:
Nov 13: Added $7.28M of $Bullish(BLSH)$
Bullish is a regulated crypto exchange based in the Cayman Islands, holding licenses in Germany, Hong Kong, Gibraltar, New York, and more. The company processed roughly $1.25 trillion in trading volume in 2024, making it one of the most important regulated venues benefiting from the ongoing institutional shift.
Bought $15.56M of $Circle Internet Corp.(CRCL)$
Circle is the issuer of USDC, one of the world’s leading regulated stablecoins. As institutions adopt stablecoins and regulatory clarity improves, USDC is increasingly seen as core infrastructure connecting traditional finance and the crypto economy — perfectly aligned with Ark’s focus on “regulated crypto finance.”
Bought $8.86M of $BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc.(BMNR)$
BitMine focuses on energy-efficient Bitcoin mining. With industry consolidation accelerating and demand for compliant hash power rising, the company is positioned to benefit from cost advantages and scale efficiency heading into the next Bitcoin cycle.
In just a matter of days, Ark’s total allocations to crypto-related names have exceeded $40 million.
📉 In contrast, Ark continues to trim social-media holdings
While doubling down on innovation, Ark has also been cutting exposure to slower-growth internet names — and recent earnings largely support this positioning.
Trimmed ~$3M of $Reddit(RDDT)$
Reddit fell about 3% in the past 24 hours, closing at $187.55.
3Q25 revenue +68% YoY — still strong
But user growth continues to slow
Monetization durability remains uncertain
Sold ~$618K of $Pinterest, Inc.(PINS)$
Pinterest closed down 4% at $25.52.
3Q25 adjusted EPS missed expectations; 4Q guidance also soft
North America user growth barely improved, showing saturation
Ad demand remains pressured, with limited progress in monetization
Ark also trimmed $Salesforce.com(CRM)$ and $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ , reallocating capital toward crypto finance, biotech, and other high-conviction innovation themes.
🧭 Ark’s approach remains consistent: “Lean into disruption, fade the old playbook.”
This latest round of trades reflects Cathie Wood’s long-held investment philosophy:
Amid a sharp crypto pullback, Ark increased exposure to regulated, high-quality platforms like Bullish — betting that short-term volatility won’t derail the long-term shift toward institutional and compliance-driven crypto markets.
At the same time, Ark reduced positions in slower-growth, non-core names to free up capital for more disruptive sectors. With Bullish’s regulatory footing and institutional onboarding capabilities, Ark is positioning itself for long-term opportunities after industry consolidation.
In short: Ark is doubling down on institutional + regulated crypto, convinced that the long-term trajectory remains intact regardless of short-term swings.
