In total, ARK sold 1.25 million shares throughout the week, collecting around $243 million. These included $52 million in sales on Monday and $45 million on Tuesday, signaling a deliberate reduction of exposure.

ARK Still One of Circle’s Largest Shareholders

Despite the sales, ARK Invest retains a significant stake, having only sold 29% of its initial 4.49 million shareholding from the IPO. As of June 20, the firm remains the eighth-largest holder of Circle shares, according to Bloomberg Terminal.

The largest holders are currently IDG-Accel China Capital Fund II, General Catalyst, and James Breyer. Meanwhile, CRCL has become the top holding within ARK’s ARKW fund, representing a 7.8% allocation.

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.
