Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest has shifted its crypto-focused investment strategy, reducing its holdings in Coinbase, Robinhood, and Block in favor of BitMine Immersion, an Ethereum-focused treasury firm.

According to Ark’s July 21 trading disclosures, the firm added 4.4 million BitMine Immersion (BMNR) shares to three of its actively managed exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This marks a notable strategic pivot as institutional interest in Ethereum treasury strategies continues to rise.

The breakdown of the purchase shows Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK) acquiring 2,937,432 BMNR shares, Ark Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW) taking 927,898 shares, and Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (ARKF) adding 555,704 shares.

Though the exact acquisition value wasn’t disclosed, BMNR closed at $39.57 on July 21, per Google Finance data. Based on that price, Ark’s total investment likely approaches $175 million.

BitMine Immersion has emerged as a major player in Ethereum treasuries. Data from Strategic ETH Reserve ranks the firm as the largest Ethereum holder, with more than 300,000 ETH.

It currently outpaces other major holders, such as SharpLink and the Ethereum Foundation, which hold over 280,000 and roughly 234,000 ETH, respectively.

Ark trims positions in Coinbase, Robinhood, and Block

In tandem with its BitMine acquisition, Ark Invest has reduced exposure to three prominent crypto-linked stocks.

The firm sold 218,986 shares of Coinbase for roughly $90.6 million, 109,824 shares of Robinhood for $11.46 million, and 90,061 shares of Block for about $7 million. These sales spanned across ARKK, ARKW, and ARKF.

The portfolio adjustment aligns with Ark’s strategy of taking profits on outperforming assets and reallocating capital toward emerging opportunities.

Coinbase’s stock has rallied in recent weeks, briefly surpassing a $100 billion market cap. This rally was fueled by excitement about improved regulatory progress after the US Congress passed key crypto bills like the CLARITY Act and the GENIUS Act.

Meanwhile, Robinhood shares also surged, gaining over 16% during the past week thanks to optimism around its tokenized equities and new crypto offerings in Europe.

Additionally, Jack Dorsey’s Block gained investor attention after being added to the S&P 500 index, making it the second crypto-centered company after Coinbase to achieve the distinction.

Billionaire Warren Buffett has funneled $305.5 billion into a safe-haven asset class, while slashing stakes in banking giants Citigroup, Bank of America, and Capital One.

New U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings show Berkshire Hathaway’s  holdings in short-dated Treasuries increased from $286.472 billion in Q4 2024 to $305.501 billion in Q1 of 2025 – a 6.64% increase in three months.

According to the filing, Buffett has allocated most of the firm’s cash reserves to US Treasuries as of Q1 2025, followed by investments in equity securities at $263.735 billion. Berkshire also has a $36.892 billion cash position as of last quarter, which ended in March.

Data from the Treasury Department shows Berkshire’s trove of US debt is large enough to surpass Taiwan’s holdings at $297.8 billion. If Warren Buffett’s investment firm were a nation, it would be the 11th-largest foreign holder of Treasury Securities, just behind France’s $363.1 billion, Ireland’s $329.3 billion and Switzerland’s $311.6 billion holdings.

Berkshire’s push for yield on its cash comes after the firm offloaded $3.23 billion worth of shares in three US banking giants last quarter.

Filings show that the investment firm fully exited Citigroup after dumping its remaining shares worth $1 billion.

The firm also sold 48.7 million Bank of America shares worth about $2.19 billion, and cashed out 300,000 shares in Capital One, which were worth roughly $46.489 million.

Tron (TRX) founder Justin Sun has staked $100 million worth of Ethereum (ETH), according to the blockchain analytics platform Arkham.

Arkham notes that Sun’s staked ETH will yield $3 million worth of Ethereum per year in passive income.

In addition to staking ETH, Sun also teased that Tron’s native asset, TRX, would soon be available on the Ethereum competitor Solana (SOL).

Sun, a polarizing figure in the crypto community, says it is currently “Tron meme szn [season].” He also notes that the issuance of top stablecoin USDT on Tron recently reached a new all-time high of $64.7 billion.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently paused its civil case against Sun. According to recent court filings, the Tron founder and the regulatory agency jointly asked United States District Judge Edgardo Ramos if they could “move to stay [the] case to allow the parties to explore a potential resolution.” Ramos granted the application a day later.

In 2023, the SEC accused Sun – who went on to invest millions of dollars into President Donald Trump’s decentralized finance platform World Liberty Financial – and his crypto firms of fraud, selling unregistered securities and manipulating the price of the digital asset TRX via wash trading.

TRX, a layer-1 asset, is trading at $0.23 at time of writing. The 10th-ranked crypto asset by market cap is down nearly 1% in the past day but up nearly 3% in the past week.

ETH is trading at $2,033 at time of writing. The second-ranked crypto asset by market cap is up nearly 7% in the past 24 hours and more than 8% in the past seven days.
