Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest Loads Up on Google, Coinbase, Circle and Bitcoin ETF Shares
November 26, 2025
In brief
Ark Invest bought more than $56 million worth of Google shares on Tuesday, alongside shares of Coinbase and Circle.
The firm has been aggressively buying in the last few weeks, also adding shares of its Bitcoin ETF, Bullish, and BitMine Immersion Technologies over that time.
While some investors are concerned about an AI bubble, Cathie Wood says it’s not like the tech and telecom bubble in the early 2000s.
Ark Invest continues to add shares of crypto related equities and major tech stocks across its actively managed ETFs, highlighted by its Tuesday addition of more than 174,000 shares of Google parent company Alphabet (GOOG) valued at more than $56 million.
Cathie Wood’s investment management firm also added another $3.75 million worth of shares in crypto exchange Coinbase, $7 million worth of stablecoin issuer Circle, and nearly $2 million worth of its own Bitcoin ETF, the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB).
GOOG shares have been rising in the last 5 trading sessions, gaining more than 8.9% and now changing hands at $319.11. Shares are up more than 22% in the last month, per Yahoo Finance.
The recent boost is just part of a broader rally for the firm, with shares gaining nearly 90% in the last six months to trade at a $3.816 trillion market cap—more than the entire crypto ecosystem at the time of writing.
In addition to Google, the firm added $29.4 million of AI cloud computing firm CoreWeave (CRWV) and $21.5 million of Facebook parent company, Meta.
“The fact that so many people are worried that we are in an AI cycle, like the tech and telecom bubble, actually reassures me,” Wood said on an Ark Invest podcast published Tuesday. “It’s very different from what happened during the tech and telecom bubble.”
Wood pointed to the fact that during the tech bubble, companies were being created and funded because of “dreams” of what could be, or how many eyeballs they could eventually secure.
But today, the technologies are ready.
The uncertainty around AI valuations, coupled with macroeconomic uncertainty from missing data during the government shutdown, has led to a wobble in broader markets of late, though Ark Invest has been relentless in its purchases.
