This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Cathie Wood's Ark Invest made a sharp rotation across AI, crypto and healthcare last week, adding nearly $25 million of CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV) while selling almost $40 million of its ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB). The moves suggest Ark is leaning further into AI infrastructure and selected healthcare names while taking profits across crypto, genomics and several high-profile technology holdings.

Ark bought roughly 239,000 CoreWeave shares worth about $24.7 million, making the AI cloud-infrastructure company one of its largest purchases of the week.

The firm also added approximately $7.25 million of Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), signaling continued interest in companies positioned to benefit from rising AI spending.

At the same time, Ark cut exposure elsewhere in technology. It sold about $10 million of Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD), $13.1 million of Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG), $6.5 million of Shopify (NASDAQ:SHOP), and $5.9 million of Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR).

Crypto saw even heavier selling.

Ark unloaded 1.53 million shares of ARKB worth roughly $39.8 million, its biggest sale of the week. It also reduced Circle Internet (NYSE:CRCL) by about $13.5 million and Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:COIN) by $6.8 million, while making a smaller cut to Bullish.
