Significant Palantir and Amazon Acquisitions
ARK accumulated 81,254 shares of Palantir totaling $9.48 million distributed among ARKK, ARKW, and ARKF funds. This buying activity represents a directional shift from previous selling pressure. Within the ARK Innovation ETF, Palantir currently ranks as the 16th-largest position, representing 2.58% of holdings.

Additionally, ARK secured 41,141 Amazon shares for $9.63 million across the identical trio of funds. Amazon currently sits as the 18th-largest position within ARKK, comprising 2.36% of the portfolio.
The investment firm added 21,226 Tesla shares valued at $8.1 million to its holdings. Tesla maintains the largest allocation within the ARKF ETF at 9.73%.
ARK acquired 23,603 Alphabet shares worth $8.17 million. Alphabet represents 1.92% of the ARK Innovation ETF’s total assets.
Strategic AI Infrastructure Investments
ARK secured 76,195 CoreWeave shares for $8.06 million. CoreWeave currently holds the 17th-largest position in ARKK, accounting for 2.57% of fund assets.
The firm also acquired 25,795 Cerebras Systems shares totaling $5.85 million. The semiconductor manufacturer made its public market debut on May 14. This purchase preceded Cerebras announcing better-than-expected Q1 revenue figures following Tuesday’s market close.
Cerebras presently represents just 1.22% of the ARK Innovation ETF, indicating the firm may be in early stages of position building.
During Monday’s trading, ARK had acquired $32.4 million in SpaceX shares distributed across four exchange-traded funds, capitalizing on a 16% decline in the stock price. ARK had previously accumulated 3.3 million SpaceX shares during its public market debut.
Ahead of SpaceX’s initial public offering, ARK liquidated hundreds of millions in various holdings to generate capital for that transaction.
Tuesday’s trading activity demonstrates ARK’s strategic reallocation away from Roku toward artificial intelligence-centric companies and Magnificent 7 technology stocks.
