Cathie Wood's Monday Moves: Loads Up On AMD Stock, Lightens Coinbase Crypto Bet

Listen to the news

On Monday, Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest executed significant portfolio adjustments, prominently acquiring shares of Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) while reducing positions in Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN).

The AMD Trade

Ark purchased 356,275 AMD shares across Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (BATS:ARKF), ARK Innovation ETF
(BATS:ARKK), and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:ARKW) funds, reinforcing confidence in the chipmaker’s positioning within the AI infrastructure race. For the day, AMD stock closed at $141.90, making the transactions worth $50.55 million.

This follows AMD’s recent volatility as it navigates supply-chain dynamics and intensifying competition in accelerated computing markets. Recently, the chipmaker announced a new collaboration with HCLTech. The two companies intend to set up joint innovation labs dedicated to advancing solutions in AI, digital infrastructure, and cloud computing.

The Coinbase Trade

Ark sold 124,892 Coinbase shares across ARKK, ARKW and ARKF ETFs despite Bernstein’s recent $510 price target and “Amazon of crypto” endorsement. On Monday, Coinbase stock ended the day at $350.49. The sale by ARK was valued at $43.77 million.

The reduction coincides with Wood’s observation that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) investors face mortgage hurdles with crypto-backed assets, potentially driving capital toward regulated exchanges like Coinbase. This strategic trimming occurs even as Ark maintains Coinbase as its second-largest portfolio holding at 8.84%.

Other Key Trades:

  • Reduced Elbit Systems Ltd (ESLT) holdings by 1,160 shares across ARKQ and ARKX funds.
