Bitcoin bull Cathie Wood’s asset management firm Ark Invest offloaded holdings in Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) again on Monday. This marks the largest amount of GBTC shares selloff by Ark Invest, coming at a time when a <a href="https://coingape.com/tag/spot-bitcoin-etf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spot Bitcoin ETF</a> approval by the U.S. SEC is almost here. Also, Ark Invest purchased additional shares of Jack Dorsey’s Block Inc (SQ) stocks.

On December 18, Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest sold 809,441 Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC)&nbsp;shares worth nearly $28 million from ARK Next Generation Internet ETF, as per the transaction seen by CoinGape.
