Introducing Valuation Models! 
Cathie Wood has built a reputation for making bold, forward-looking bets on disruptive innovation. As the founder and CEO of ARK Invest, her strategy centers on identifying companies that are leading transformative technological trends, such as artificial intelligence, genomics, blockchain, and robotics. Despite experiencing sharp downturns in 2022, Wood remains committed to the long-term growth potential of her high-conviction holdings.
Many investors follow Cathie Wood not just because of her conviction, but because she often spots trends long before they become consensus. Whether it was Tesla in its early days or her firm belief in blockchain infrastructure, Wood is known for leaning into volatility and embracing companies others might overlook. Because she manages an active ETF, her transparent daily trading disclosures and active management style make her portfolio one of the most watched in modern finance. For retail and institutional investors alike, tracking ARK’s top holdings offers a glimpse into the technologies and platforms Cathie believes are reshaping the global economy.
Below is a snapshot of her top 7 publicly traded equity positions, based on holdings as of July 8 from the ARK Innovation ETF. Unlike hedge funds and institutional managers who report quarterly via 13F filings, ARK posts its holdings daily, which gives investors real-time visibility into Cathie’s highest-conviction ideas.
1. Tesla (TSLA) 9.2% of portfolio
Tesla isn’t a new name to most investors or Wood. She has owned it, in size, for years. Tesla designs and manufactures electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and solar energy solutions.
Despite a difficult stretch YTD (down 22%), Tesla remains ARK’s largest position. Cathie has long believed Tesla is not just an automaker, but a leader in autonomous driving, AI, and energy storage—three areas she expects will create exponential value over time.
The stock trades at 10x forward EV/revenue with 9% expected top-line growth over the next two years. Tesla’s long-term potential in robotaxis and full self-driving continues to underpin Wood’s bullish stance.
2. Coinbase (COIN) 8.3% of portfolio
Coinbase operates a cryptocurrency exchange that allows users to buy, sell, and store digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Cathie sees Coinbase as a key on-ramp to the decentralized financial system, particularly as traditional financial structures are being reimagined. The platform remains profitable, boasts an 85% gross margin, and has a relatively low net debt position.
Despite recent crypto volatility, ARK is betting on Coinbase to benefit from the growing adoption of tokenized assets and crypto infrastructure.
3. Roku (ROKU) 7.5% of portfolio
Roku provides streaming platforms and devices that connect users to TV and digital content via the internet. With traditional cable viewership in secular decline, Cathie views Roku as a prime beneficiary of the shift to connected TV and streaming-first ad models. Though the company is currently unprofitable and trades at a lofty 29x forward EV/EBITDA, Roku’s platform advantage and large user base position it well for monetization over time.
4. Roblox (RBLX) 6.3% of portfolio
Roblox is an online entertainment platform that allows users to create, share, and play games in immersive 3D environments. Up over 78% year-to-date, Roblox exemplifies Wood’s thesis on the convergence of social and gaming. She sees Roblox as a foundational layer of the metaverse—a virtual world economy where people work, play, and transact.
While the company’s current financial metrics remain stretched (e.g. negative EBIT margins, high forward valuations), it continues to grow users and engagement metrics, which ARK believes are early signals of long-term platform value.
5. CRISPR Therapeutics (CRSP) 5.6% of portfolio
CRISPR Therapeutics is a biotechnology company focused on developing gene-editing therapies using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. Gene editing remains one of ARK’s most disruptive investment themes, and CRISPR Therapeutics is a cornerstone of that bet. The stock reflects optimism around recent regulatory approvals and commercial progress.
Despite negative margins and high volatility, Cathie believes CRSP has transformative potential to cure diseases at the DNA level. She expects productivity gains and falling costs in genomic sequencing to be deflationary and scale adoption.
6. Circle (CRCL) 5.1% of portfolio
Circle is a newly public fintech firm behind the USDC stablecoin, which enables digital payments and asset transfers pegged to the U.S. dollar.
Recently public and already up massively in a short period, Circle is best known for USDC, a leading stablecoin. With increasing integration of crypto into traditional finance—and new regulatory clarity enabling things like USDC-backed mortgage qualification—Cathie sees Circle as a key enabler of the “internet of money.” The stock’s extreme valuation (94x forward EV/EBITDA) suggests the market is buying into that vision. That said, Wood has already started to trim her position.
7. Robinhood (HOOD) 3.7% of portfolio
Robinhood is a commission-free trading platform that offers equities, options, crypto, and more to retail investors. Robinhood has rebounded sharply in 2025, with the stock up over 131% year-to-date. ARK views Robinhood as an access point to financial markets for younger investors and digital natives.
Cathie has praised the company’s role in democratizing investing, and her team expects HOOD to benefit from rising retail participation and potential monetization of its crypto and retirement offerings. With strong gross margins (91%) and a cleaner balance sheet, Robinhood is back in the growth spotlight.
Be Ready for Volatility
While Cathie Wood’s strategies may not be for the faint of heart, her convictions remain rooted in long-term deflationary trends driven by innovation and productivity. Whether it’s artificial intelligence, genomics, or decentralized finance, her top holdings reflect a future-focused approach that aims to capitalize on the next wave of technological disruption. As always, investors should do their own due diligence, but the ARK portfolio offers a lens into where disruption may be headed next.
