ARK Invest has reacted swiftly to market volatility triggered by Donald Trump’s April 2 tariff announcement by investing $26.6 million in Coinbase (COIN) shares while selling $12 million worth of its Bitcoin ETF (ARKB).
The COIN purchases came in two tranches: $13.3 million on April 4 and $13.2 million on April 7. However, ARK also sold $12 million of its ARKB holdings via its Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW) on April 7.
ARKW Still Offers $142M in Indirect Bitcoin Exposure!
The April 7 ARKB sale marked one of ARK’s largest daily dumps of the ETF this year. The firm had previously sold $8 million in March, $8.6 million in February, and $3.5 million in January.

Despite the latest sell-off, ARKW still holds $142 million in ARKB, representing 11% of the fund’s total weight — keeping significant indirect exposure to Bitcoin intact.
Bitcoin ETFs Bleed Amid Market Panic
The broader Bitcoin ETF market took a hit following Trump’s tariffs. Bitcoin dropped 11% to $74,700. Data shows that global Bitcoin ETPs saw $207 million in outflows between April 1 and 7, with an additional $109 million leaving the market on April 7 alone.
Across the last three trading days, Bitcoin ETFs lost a combined $273 million, per SoSoValue. Still, ARK remains among the few spot Bitcoin ETF issuers with net positive flows in 2025, totaling $146 million by April 4.
Other notable inflows came from BlackRock’s iShares ($3.2B) and ProShares ($398M), according to CoinShares.
