Ark Invest buys the dip in Coinbase, Robinhood amid geopolitical volatility

Quick Take

  • Ark Invest bought around $4.09 million worth of Coinbase shares and $12.06 million in Robinhood shares on Tuesday.
  • Both shares fell on Tuesday as the U.S.-Iran war continued to add volatility to global markets.

Cathie Wood's Ark Invest scooped up additional shares of Coinbase and Robinhood Markets across its exchange-traded funds on Tuesday, as the firm continued to build exposure to crypto-linked equities amid the global market volatility.

According to the company's trade filing, Ark bought a total of 22,452 shares in Coinbase via ARKK, ARKW, and ARKF on Tuesday. Based on Tuesday's closing price of $182.36, the purchase was worth roughly $4.09 million.

The company also bought 158,587 shares of Robinhood through the same three ETFs, valued at about $12.06 million based on Tuesday's closing price of $76.07.

The purchases came as both stocks declined in recent sessions, as geopolitical uncertainty surrounding the U.S.-Iran war continued to weigh on equities. The Nasdaq Composite fell 1% while the S&P 500 Index dipped 0.94% on Tuesday.

Coinbase  closed down 1.55% on Tuesday, while Robinhood  slipped 3.44%. Despite the pullback, Ark's additions align with its longer-term conviction in crypto and related platforms.

Ark has been actively rebalancing its exposure to crypto-related stocks throughout early 2026, frequently adding to positions in Coinbase and Robinhood during dips. The firm has also purchased shares of Circle and Bullish crypto exchange.

Meanwhile, Ark's investment strategy limits any individual holding to about 10% of a fund’s portfolio, ensuring diversification and prompting periodic rebalancing as position weightings shift with market movements.

According to the firm's disclosures, COIN is currently the sixth-largest holding in its ARKK ETF, with a 4.21% weighting valued at about $281.2 million as of March 3. HOOD ranks seventh with a 4.07% weighting, while Circle is eighth at 4.05%.

  • ITI Opposes FCC's Inclusion of Optical Modules in Covered List

    According to the authoritative U.S. communications media Communications Daily, the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) formally expressed its opposition to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) last week, urging the FCC not to include foreign-manufactured optical modules in the restricted list. This represents the latest stance of the U.S. technology industry organization on this issue, further reducing the likelihood of a blanket inclusion of optical modules in the Covered List. In its latest submission to the FCC, ITI explicitly recommended that the Covered List should continue to adopt a 'precise, risk-based' approach, focusing on entities or products with clear ties to foreign adversaries, rather than broadly covering entire categories of technology from trusted companies. More importantly, ITI specifically stated that optical transceivers should not be included in the Covered List, particularly opposing the inclusion of all foreign-produced optical modules in the restrictions.

  • Ulanqab Plans 12.5GW, Surpassing OpenAI's Stargate Target

    According to Goldman Sachs, Ulanqab, a prefecture-level city in Inner Mongolia, has committed to a total data center capacity of approximately 12.5GW, which exceeds OpenAI's initial target of 10GW for Stargate. However, only about 1.2GW is currently operational. This expansion has primarily occurred in the past year, with over 70% of the capacity commitments made in this timeframe. DeepSeek plans to build approximately 1GW of data centers, while Xiaohongshu is reportedly considering a project of around 600MW. Companies like ByteDance and Alibaba have also entered the market. The area benefits from low land and electricity costs, cold weather, and proximity to Beijing. Dedicated fiber optics have reduced the average latency from Ulanqab to Beijing to under 5 milliseconds.

  • Iranian Parliament Speaker Mocks: U.S. Economic Pressure on Iran Will Backfire

    Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf shared an image on social media platform X, outlining the economic pressures against Iran and the impact of changes in the energy market on the U.S. economy. Referring to recent measures taken by Trump to control U.S. commodity prices, he wrote: 'Importing frozen meat to control meat prices? Well, maybe effective. But what is the U.S. plan for national debt? Want to import “frozen yields”? For the housing market, are you going to introduce “frozen buyers”? To address wage issues, are you going to issue “frozen payrolls”? A rigid and uninnovative foreign policy will lead to a frozen and stagnant economy. What is the only thing still functioning? It is the boomerang of imposing “devastating economic pressure” on Iran, which will ultimately come back to the U.S. itself.' (Jinshi)
