Peter Thiel Effect? Cathie Wood Pours $175 Million Into Bitmine Immersion Stock As Founders Fund Backing, Ethereum Spike Fuels Buzz

Germany,,Mannheim,January,29.,2025,,Sign,Or,Lettering,Of,Ark

Ark Invest, led by Cathie Wood, made significant trades on Monday. Notably, the firm increased its stake in Bitmine Immersion Technologies Inc. (NYSE:BMNR) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) while reducing its holdings in Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) and Block Inc. (NYSE:XYZ). These trades reflect Ark’s strategic adjustments amid evolving market conditions.

The Bitmine Immersion Trade: Ark Invest made a substantial investment in Bitmine Immersion through Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (BATS:ARKF), ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:ARKK), and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:ARKW). This move comes after Bitmine’s Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) holdings surpassed $1 billion recently, following a $250 million private placement. Ark’s acquisition of over 4.4 million shares highlights its confidence in Bitmine’s strategic pivot to an Ethereum treasury strategy. The total value of this purchase amounts to approximately $174.9 million, based on the latest closing price of $39.57. In the last 30 days, BMNR stock has shot up a whopping 799.3%. The stock has been on a tear after Peter Thiel's Founders Fund Growth II Management disclosed a 9.1% stake in the company.
