On July 15, 2025, Allnodes launched Bare Metal Servers powered by AMD Threadripper 9000 Series, a move that could potentially attract ARK Invest's attention in the future. Meanwhile, ARK Invest has made some notable equity trades and adjustments across its portfolio as of July 14, 2025.
- **Tesla Inc**: ARK made a substantial purchase of 115,380 shares worth approximately $36.6 million, split between its ARKK and ARKW ETFs. This continues ARK's ongoing trend of increasing its stake in Tesla, reinforcing a bullish view on the company despite recent challenges.
- **Coinbase Global Inc**: ARK sold 34,207 shares valued at about $13.5 million from its ARKW ETF.

- **Roku Inc**: ARK sold a total of 33,963 shares on July 14 worth roughly $3.02 million, contributing to a larger combination sales figure of 68,040 shares (around $6.1 million total) spanning ARKK and ARKW ETFs. This indicates a potential strategic shift away from the streaming device company.
- **NVIDIA Corporation**: ARK acquired approximately $511,929 worth of NVIDIA shares, demonstrating selective additions to its portfolio in innovative technology sectors.
