The increase in shareholder stake signals Ark Invest’s intention to furtheregrate itself into the cryptocurrency space, particularly for long-term capitalization.

The firm’s long-term strategy involves capitalizing on digital innovation and technological advancements in coins, while managing short-term volatility.
