ARK Invest, the investment firm led by Cathie Wood, has sold off its remaining holdings of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) shares, worth around $200 million, and used $100 million of the proceeds to buy shares in the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO). This move has made ARK Invest the second-largest holder of the Bitcoin futures ETF.
