February 13 News, Ark Invest, founded by Cathie Wood, has once again increased its holdings in cryptocurrency-related stocks, contrarily deploying during a period of market downturn. According to disclosed data, Ark purchased a total of 212,314 shares of Ethereum treasury company Bitmine through three ETFs, approximately $4.2 million based on the closing price of the day. Bitmine rose slightly by 1.4% to $19.74 that day, but has declined by 36.7% over the past month.
On the same day, Ark also increased its holdings by 74,323 shares of Bullish stock, worth about $2.4 million. This marks the 11th consecutive trading day Ark has added to this position. Bullish closed down 0.5% at $31.71, with a nearly 18% decline over the past 30 days. Additionally, Ark bought approximately 174,767 shares of Robinhood for about $12.4 million, which dropped 8.9% on the day, with its monthly decline expanding to 40%.
Ark’s investment portfolio adheres to a risk control rule that no single position exceeds 10%, so during periods of increased volatility, the fund often adjusts its holdings continuously to maintain structural stability. Currently, Bullish has become the ninth-largest holding in its ARKF fund, with a weight of about 3.4% and a market value approaching $30 million. Ark also holds significant positions in several crypto-related companies, including Circle, Block, and COIN.
From a macro perspective, major U.S. stock indices declined across the board on the same day, with the Dow Jones, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 all experiencing notable pullbacks. In the digital asset space, Bitcoin hovered around $66,700, and Ethereum approached $1,960, both near multi-year lows.
Against the backdrop of simultaneous pressure on traditional and crypto markets, Ark’s continuous accumulation is interpreted by some investors as an early move toward a cyclical recovery in crypto assets. Market watchers will next focus on whether prices form new support levels at the lows, potentially providing new directional signals for risk assets.

Bhutan sells another $6.7 million worth of Bitcoin, on-chain data shows it still holds over $370 million in BTC reserves
February 13 News, the government of Bhutan has recently conducted Bitcoin transfer operations again. BSCNews citing on-chain data reports that Bhutan has sold approximately $6.7 million worth of Bitcoin, information provided by on-chain analytics firm Arkham. Although "government sell-offs" can easily evoke market associations, in terms of scale, this transfer accounts for only a tiny fraction of the current daily Bitcoin trading volume and has not caused any significant price impact.
On-chain tracking shows that Bhutan-related addresses still hold about $372 million worth of Bitcoin assets. This indicates that it is not a full-scale divestment but rather a phased fund reallocation. Since the end of 2025, Bhutan has repeatedly exhibited a similar transfer rhythm, adopting a "partial sale, long-term holding" strategy, demonstrating that it still regards Bitcoin as an important reserve asset.
