Ark Invest Boosts SpaceX, Circle to Top 10 Holdings in Innovation Fund

Ark Invest Boosts SpaceX, Circle to Top 10 Holdings in Innovation Fund

tags. Translate text. Original content:

Cathie Wood's Ark Invest has elevated SpaceX and Circle to among the ten largest positions in its flagship innovation fund. The firm also continued buying both companies after their second-quarter earnings reports, signaling sustained conviction in the two private firms.

Private companies in a public fund

SpaceX, Elon Musk's rocket and satellite company, and Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, are not publicly traded. That makes their presence in a widely held exchange-traded fund unusual. The ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) typically holds stocks, but Ark Invest has carved out room for private securities through a special structure that allows it to invest in companies before they go public.

Both companies now rank among the fund's top 10 holdings by weight. Ark Invest has been a longtime backer of SpaceX, which has raised billions in private funding rounds. Circle, meanwhile, has drawn attention as the crypto market stabilizes and regulators eye stablecoin rules.

Continued buying after earnings

Ark Invest didn't stop at the initial allocation. The firm kept adding to its positions in both SpaceX and Circle after the companies reported their second-quarter earnings. That suggests Wood's team sees more upside ahead, even after the stocks—or rather, the private shares—have already climbed in value.

Because SpaceX and Circle are private, their valuations are set by the most recent funding round or by internal marks. Ark Invest discloses its estimated value for these holdings in its daily portfolio updates. The continued buying indicates that Ark believes the current valuation still leaves room for growth.

The moves give ARKK a heavier tilt toward private markets. That can boost returns if the companies eventually go public at higher valuations, but it also adds risk. Private shares are harder to sell quickly, and their prices are less transparent than those of public stocks.

For investors in the fund, the increased exposure to SpaceX and Circle means they're betting on Elon Musk's space ambitions and the future of digital dollars. Both are high-conviction bets for Wood, who has long argued that innovation will disrupt traditional industries.

The next catalyst for SpaceX could be a Starship test flight or a new funding round. For Circle, the timeline depends on U.S. stablecoin legislation and the adoption of USDC. Ark Invest will likely disclose any further changes in its daily trade notifications.

We need to translate to Ukrainian. Let's do it paragraph by paragraph. First paragraph: "Cathie Wood's Ark Invest has elevated SpaceX and Circle to among the ten largest positions in its flagship innovation fund. The firm also continued buying both companies after their second-quarter earnings reports, signaling sustained conviction in the two private firms." Translation: "Ark Invest Кеті Вуд підняв SpaceX і Circle до десятки найбільших позицій у своєму флагманському інноваційному фонді. Фірма також продовжувала купувати обидві компанії після звітів про прибутки за другий квартал, що свідчить про стійку впевненість у цих двох приватних фірмах." But note: "Ark Invest" is a company name, keep as is. "Cathie Wood" - keep as is. "elevated" - "підняв" or "підвищив". "flagship innovation fund" - "флагманський інноваційний фонд". "sustained conviction" - "стійку впевненість". Let's refine. Second paragraph: "Private companies in a public fund" - heading: "Приватні компанії в публічному фонді" or "Приватні компанії у публічному фонді". Then content: "SpaceX, Elon Musk's rocket and satellite company, and Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, are not publicly traded. That makes their presence in a widely held exchange-traded fund unusual. The ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) typically holds stocks, but Ark Invest has carved out room for private securities through a special structure that allows it to invest in companies before they go public." Translation: "SpaceX, ракетна та супутникова компанія Ілона Маска, і Circle, емітент стейблкоїна USDC, не є публічно торгованими. Це робить їхню присутність у широко розповсюдженому біржовому фонді незвичною. ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) зазвичай тримає акції, але Ark Invest створив місце для приватних цінних паперів через спеціальну структуру, яка дозволяє йому інвестувати в компанії до їхнього виходу на біржу." Third paragraph: "Both companies now rank among the fund's top 10 holdings by weight. Ark Invest has been a longtime backer of SpaceX, which has raised billions in private funding rounds. Circle, meanwhile, has drawn attention as the crypto market stabilizes and regulators eye stablecoin rules." Translation: "Обидві компанії тепер входять до топ-10 холдингів фонду за вагою. Ark Invest давно підтримує SpaceX, яка залучила мільярди в приватних раундах фінансування. Circle, тим часом, привернув увагу, оскільки крипторинок стабілізується, а регулятори придивляються до правил для стейблкоїнів." Fourth paragraph: "Continued buying after earnings" - heading: "Продовження покупок після звітів про прибутки" or "Продовження купівлі після звітності". Then content: "Ark Invest didn't stop at the initial allocation. The firm kept adding to its positions in both SpaceX and Circle after the companies reported their second-quarter earnings. That suggests Wood's team sees more upside ahead, even after the stocks—or rather, the private shares—have already climbed in value." Translation: "Ark Invest не зупинився на початковому розподілі. Фірма продовжувала збільшувати свої позиції в обох компаніях, SpaceX і Circle, після того як вони звітували про прибутки за другий квартал. Це свідчить про те, що команда Вуд бачить більше потенціалу для зростання, навіть після того, як акції — точніше, приватні частки — вже зросли в ціні." Fifth paragraph: "Because SpaceX and Circle are private, their valuations are set by the most recent funding round or by internal marks. Ark Invest discloses its estimated value for these holdings in its daily portfolio updates. The continued buying indicates that Ark believes the current valuation still leaves room for growth." Translation: "Оскільки SpaceX і Circle є приватними, їхня оцінка визначається останнім раундом фінансування або внутрішніми показниками. Ark Invest розкриває свою оціночну вартість цих холдингів у щоденних оновленнях портфеля.
