Key Developments

  • Ark Invest increased its exposure to BMNR, a company known for its large Ethereum holdings.
  • The acquisition was disclosed in Ark's September 8 daily trade report and spread across three ETFs.
  • Following the purchase, BMNR stock rose over 4% to close at $43.79 and reached a pre-market value of $45.19.
  • BitMine holds over two million Ethereum, representing about 1.7% of total supply, establishing it as the largest corporate holder of Ethereum.
  • Ark offloaded approximately 43,728 shares of Robinhood from its ARK Next Generation Internet ETF, valued at around $5.1 million.
  • This sale occurred despite Robinhood's recent addition to the S&P 500 index, which previously boosted its stock by 16%.
