According to CoinDesk, Ark Invest, led by Cathie Wood, purchased nearly 3.3 million shares of SpaceX on its first day of trading, valued at over $500 million, with a closing price of $160.95, up 19.2% from the issue price of $135. Ark sold nearly $280 million worth of other company stocks a week before the listing, and on the day of the listing, sold about 948,000 shares involving 13 companies including AMD, Roku, and Baidu. The ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) was the main buyer, with SpaceX accounting for 3.28% of its portfolio. Ark's target for SpaceX's enterprise value in 2030 is $2.5 trillion, with an optimistic scenario of about $3.1 trillion.

Ark also operates a spot Bitcoin ETF, and Wood has been one of the most bullish institutional investors on Bitcoin. Analysts point out that venture capital is limited, and when Bitcoin bulls like Wood turn to stocks instead of increasing their positions in crypto, it indicates that funds may continue to flow out of the crypto market in the short term.
