Ark Invest Offloads Grayscale Bitcoin Trust Shares

On the same day, Ark Invest reduced its investment in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, offloading shares worth $3.76 million with Grayscale closed at $26.95. The sale is a continuation of a trend where Ark has been trimming its investments in cryptocurrency trusts.

On Oct. 23, Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest sold 100,739 Grayscale Bitcoin Trust shares with a worth of $2.5 million through ARK Next Generation Internet ETF.

Cathie Wood’s Confidence in Grayscale and Bitcoin

Cathie Wood expressed her confidence in Grayscale back in Nov. 2022 in a Bloomberg Television and Radio interview. “We know that the Grayscale Investment trusts are the most valuable part of that company right now, and they’re cash cows,” Wood said. “We think they’re going to try and hold onto that if nothing else.”

Ark Invest has been a perpetual bullish investor of bitcoin. In the Bloomberg interview, Wood insisted that the price of bitcoin will reach $1 million by 2030.
