Ark Invest trims Meta, Nvidia and cuts Bitcoin ETF holdings as tech sell-off hits
Ark Invest, led by Cathie Wood, sold large blocks of American tech stocks and reduced its crypto exposure amid a broader tech and market slide. On Thursday, the firm exited nearly $41M in Meta (META) shares and more than $26M in Nvidia (NVDA) shares.
It also trimmed around $11M worth of shares in its spot Bitcoin ETF (ARKB), alongside selling about $6.5M in shares of crypto exchange Bullish and nearly $5M in Block (XYZ). The move comes as uncertainty tied to Iran weighs on risk sentiment across both stocks and crypto.
Price action shows the pressure is still building. Bitcoin (BTC) fell roughly 4.8% over 24 hours to around $66,020, briefly dipping below $66,000. In the broader market, crypto-linked equities and related risk assets have also weakened, with BTC and majors moving lower during the same downturn.
After the sales, Ark Invest reportedly still holds about $100M in ARKB, making it a mid-sized position within its actively managed ETF set. For traders, the key takeaway is that Ark Invest’s reduction of Bitcoin ETF exposure aligns with a risk-off tape, which can reinforce near-term downside momentum while keeping volatility elevated.
Bearish
Ark Invest同时减持科技龙头（META、NVDA）与自家比特币ETF（ARKB），等于在股票与加密两条风险资产线上一起“去风险”。这类“同向减仓”通常会对短线情绪形成压力：当BTC正处于风险偏好回落与流动性紧缩的环境时，机构减少Bitcoin ETF相关持仓会更容易被市场解读为看空或降低风险敞口，从而放大回撤。
短期方面，这会更偏向增强卖压与波动（尤其是BTC在已跌破关键心理位附近时）。类似情形在过往市场里常见：当宏观不确定性触发风险回避，且大型基金/ETF持仓同步调整时，价格往往先出现情绪性下跌与成交放大，然后才进入区间震荡寻找承接。
长期方面，单次减仓不一定改变中长期基本面，但如果风险环境持续（例如地缘与利率压力维持），Bitcoin ETF持仓进一步“偏离”可能会让多头恢复更慢。交易上可重点关注BTC是否能重新站回关键支撑/区间中枢，以及ARKB减持是否带来后续资金流的持续性。
