Ark Invest, the investment firm led by Cathie Wood, has again sold a substantial portion of its holdings in <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/coinbase/">Coinbase</a> Global Inc. (COIN) as the crypto exchange’s stock value soared to a 20-month high. 
The latest move comes amidst a broader reshuffling of the firm’s portfolio in response to recent market dynamics. 
On Dec. 13, Ark Invest sold 283,104 shares of Coinbase, valued at approximately $42.6 million, across two of its funds. The sale is part of a larger trend with the firm’s weekly sales reaching $56 million, as per their latest trade filing.

Coinbase’s stock closed at <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/COIN/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$150.46</a> on Dec. 13, marking a 7.8% increase on the day. Over the past month, the stock has surged by 64%, reaching its highest level since April 2022. 
Despite this recent upswing, the stock remains approximately 60% below its all-time high of $343, recorded in November 2021. 
In addition to Coinbase, Ark also offloaded 45,864 shares of the <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/grayscale/">Grayscale</a> Bitcoin Trust (<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/gbtc/">GBTC</a>), valued at around $1.6 million, on Wednesday. 
This decision coincides with a notable reduction in the discount to net asset value (NAV) for GBTC. From over 40% in the summer, it has reduced to just 7.4% as of yesterday, the smallest margin in approximately two and a half years. 
Discount to net asset value (NAV) refers to the extent to which the market price of each share falls below the actual value of the Bitcoin it represents.
