Cathie Wood's ARK ETFs once again saw significant transactions on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, with a focus on technology and biotech stocks. The largest transaction of the day was the purchase of 738,367 shares of The Trade Desk Inc ( $TTD (-0,52%) ) with a total value of $39,266,357. This move underscores ARK's continued confidence in the digital advertising platform, where the fund had already significantly increased its positions in recent days.
Another notable transaction involved Block Inc ( $SQ (-1,55%) ), formerly known as Square. Here ARK sold 215,543 shares, representing a sizable value of $15,741,105. This sale represents one of the larger divestitures of the day and could indicate a strategic realignment of ARK's position towards the financial services and digital payments company.
ARK also made a significant purchase of 643,406 shares of Pinterest Inc ( $PINS ) worth $21,998,051. The social media company has repeatedly been in ARK's focus in the past, as evidenced by the continuous purchases over the past week. This trend points to a bullish assessment of Pinterest's growth prospects on the part of ARK.
In the biotech sector, ARK's ARK ETF purchased 128,896 shares of CRISPR Therapeutics AG ( $CRSP (+2,86%) ) for a total value of $714,567, continuing its investment in the gene-editing company. On the flip side, various ARK ETFs divested shares of DraftKings Inc ( $DKNG (-2,53%) ), Guardant Health Inc ( $GH (-2,6%) ), Robinhood Markets Inc ($HOOD (-2,19%) ), Palantir Technologies Inc ($PLTR ), Roblox Corp ( $RBLX ) and Shopify Inc ($SHOP (+0,46%) ). The largest sell-off was DraftKings, with 221,203 shares worth $9,452,004 sold.
Other notable buys included Exact Sciences Corp ( $EXAS (+5,31%) ) and Personalis Inc ( $PSNL (+1,83%) ). ARK bought 93,753 and 134,035 shares worth $3,835,435 and $603,157 respectively. The continued purchases in these stocks could indicate a focused strategy targeting innovative healthcare companies.
Smaller transactions were also part of the day's activity. ARK bought shares in Compass Pathways PLC ( $CMPS (-0,9%) ) and 10X Genomics Inc ( $TXG (+2,32%) ). Despite the smaller dollar amounts, these purchases could be part of a long-term strategy that focuses on up-and-coming companies in the respective sectors.
Some of dear Cathie's transactions don't need to be understood but well, the young lady's returns speak for themselves.
$ARKK (+0%) and $ARKF (-0,76%) over 70% return since 365 days, I can only shine with +27% with my portfolio.
I will remain invested in $TTD (-0,52%) My current portfolio has a lot of risk, as I have generated some cash.
At the moment I'm considering whether I should possibly $HMWO (-0,7%) and $EQQQ (-0,59%) or just the $VUSA (-0,88%) into the portfolio.
Temporarily sold $AMD (-7,23%) +35%, $HIMS (+0,15%) +15%, $DOCN (+1,6%) +9%.
I would re-enter Hims and AMD at certain prices and possibly add other companies to the portfolio if they fit my selection.
My positions:
On the watchlist
$SHOP (+0,46%) After the big rise, I'm thinking of buying. I guess tomorrow it will go the other way. Should I place a trailing stop-buy order? What limit or range would you choose?
I have 50 shares of $NOVO B (-2,31%) at a price of €66. I still believe that it is not wrong to be positioned with Novo and $UNH (+1,39%) (10 shares at €353), but perhaps one should not overdo it. The positions are large enough to have a noticeable effect on a full recovery, but I don't need to overload myself to create an even bigger buy-in.
Basically, there is much to suggest that the market is simply acting excessively panicky and headless and that the healthcare sector itself is not in demand (see post before last). Especially when Trump is throwing out some TACOs saying that he wants to regulate pharmaceutical prices - and although pharma is taking a dive, health insurers are still not benefiting from this. A lot of things on the market don't fit together at the moment.
Sometimes I'm also right. Sometimes. I have $SHOP (+0,46%) at €30 and $NVDA (-3,33%) for €12 when nobody wanted the shares, but the trick is of course that you always have too many shares in stocks that fall and too few in stocks that rise. You can sometimes make the perfect start with a single tranche, but you will rarely take €100,000 in the morning after a good night's sleep and find the golden turnaround with a single purchase ... so just in case anyone gets the idea that you can simply get in later when the shares are rising again: you won't do that anyway.
