Wood also acquired shares of cryptocurrency companies Bullish (BLSH) and Circle Internet (CRCL) as these stocks remain pressured amid the ongoing crypto slump. Additionally, she bought shares of software company Figma (FIG), leveraging the current dip in software stocks.
Most of these purchases were made across the ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), the ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW), and the ARK Fintech Innovation Fund (ARKF).
Here’s How Wood Allocated $74M in Stocks
Robinhood Markets – Wood acquired a total of 433,806 shares of this brokerage platform for $33.86 million. HOOD stock plunged 8.8% on February 11 after missing Q4 revenue estimates, though earnings of $0.66 beat the consensus.
Shopify – Wood added 150,421 shares of the Canadian e-commerce portal for $17.89 million. SHOP stock dropped 6.5% yesterday, despite beating sales and earnings expectations for Q4 and announcing a $2 billion share buyback plan.
Other Notable Purchases – ARK Invest bought 364,134 shares of crypto exchange Bullish for $11.60 million. Wood added 75,559 shares of the stablecoin company Circle Internet for $4.37 million, riding a 3.2% dip in its stock price. Wood also acquired 280,138 shares of Figma for $6.32 million, while its shares declined 6.4%.
Why Wood Is Optimistic on these Stocks
With crypto markets still recovering from 2025’s regulatory headwinds and software stocks facing AI-driven margin pressures, these buys signal confidence in long-term growth narratives despite short-term earnings misses, such as HOOD’s revenue shortfall offset by profitability beats.

After the non-farm payroll report, traders' bets on a December rate hike surged to as high as 85%. Wall Street analysts believe the report provides room for further rate hikes, bringing renewed pressure for a hike at a time when post-election market concerns over slowing AI development might dampen expectations.
