Tesla Inc. (TSLA) turned to the biggest holding of Cathie Wood’s flagship ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK). However, Roku Inc. and Coinbase Global Inc. also made it to the top 3 holdings of the ETF, suggesting a solid upward trajectory for these companies.
This comes in when ARKK recorded its biggest single-day cash injection ever of $800 million at the beginning of August. This inflow helped the fund snap a brutal run of 18 consecutive months of net outflows. The Innovation ETF has managed to surge by almost 22% over the past 6 months.
Tesla is still ARKK’s biggest bet
ARK Invest’s data shows that ARKK holds $771 million worth of Tesla shares, which makes 10.37% of the fund. It further carries $468 million worth of Roku (6.41%) and $458 million worth of Coinbase (6.28%) shares. Roblox Corp. (worth approx. $416.5 million) and Shopify Inc. (worth approx. $403.6 million) are two other major assets in the portfolio.
ARKK has also been adding BitMine (BMNR) to its portfolio. This crypto miner had recently shifted focus to Ethereum and aims to acquire 5% of the total ETH supply. Ark Invest has been building its BMNR stake across multiple ETFs, signaling strong conviction. However, Robinhood is still in the top 10 tally as ARKK owns $341 million worth of HOOD shares.

This year has been a different story for ARKK as it is up by more than 32% in 2025 on a total return basis. It has outpaced the S&P 500’s 8.6% gains. The ARK Innovation ETF came into the light in the pandemic-era tech mania and soared nearly 150% in 2020, but tumbled hard during the 2022 tech wreck. ARKK traded at an average price of $74.76 in the last session.
Crypto market in ‘Greed’ mode
Tesla’s share price is also on a surge, which has pushed Cathie Wood’s ARKK to perform well. Tesla is up by over 6% in the last 5 trading sessions. Coinbase is another stock that has maintained its position in the fund. Despite the recent dump, COIN price is up by 16% over the last 6 months, trading at $310.54.
Wood’s trademark strategy of buying dips and trimming winners remains intact. In the past week, she has sold portions of a popular tech stock despite its rally, while increasing exposure to other high-growth plays. Analysts hint that the renewed investor appetite isn’t just about ARKK, it’s part of a broader rotation back into high-growth, high-risk plays.
The global digital asset market cap regained $4 trillion as Bitcoin rallied to trade above $122K. The BTC price remains up by 7% in the past 7 days after witnessing a dip to $112K levels. The biggest altcoin, Ethereum, is running hot on an upward rally. ETH price zoomed by more than 20% over the last 7 days. It is trading at an average price of $4,280 at press time. The whole crypto market turned green while the Fear and Greed index is still flashing “Greed” among the investors.
