Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades on Tuesday, involving major companies like Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN), ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (BATS:ARKB) and NVIDIA Corp.(NASDAQ:NVDA).
The Tesla Trade: On Tuesday, ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:ARKK) and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:ARKW) increased their holdings in the Elon Musk-led company by purchasing 45,145 and 70,235 shares, respectively.

The company has seen a wave of high-profile exits recently. The total value of the Tesla shares bought by Ark on this day amounts to $35.86 million, based on the latest closing price of $310.78.
The Coinbase Trade: Ark Invest’s ARKW fund sold 34,207 shares of Coinbase. This decision follows Coinbase reaching a $100 billion market cap, driven by a surge in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) prices. The sale aligns with Ark’s previous strategy of adjusting its cryptocurrency-related holdings, as seen in their earlier reduction of crypto stocks. The total value of the Coinbase shares sold is $13.28 million, given the closing price of $388.02 on Tuesday.
The ARKB ETF Trade: In a notable move, Ark’s ARKW fund offloaded 225,742 shares of the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF. The value of the ARKB shares sold is $8.74 million.

The apex cryptocurrency hit an all-time high of $123,091.61 on Monday.
The Nvidia Trade: ARK Space Exploration & Innovation ETF (BATS:ARKX) fund acquired 2,999 shares of the tech giant. This purchase follows recent positive developments for NVIDIA, including a 10% boost in growth estimates after the U.S. lifted chip export restrictions to China.
