Cathie Wood Reaffirms Bitcoin Primacy, Takes Indirect Ethereum Stake via BitMine
She cites a fixed supply, unmatched security, a rules-based design as the basis for ARK’s continued focus.
Overview
- In a Master Investor podcast interview, the ARK Invest CEO said Bitcoin will “own” crypto in the long run and called it the only Layer 1 with a clean security record.
- Wood emphasized Bitcoin’s 21 million cap and monetary design as key factors supporting its role as a global crypto monetary network.
- ARK keeps exposure to both Bitcoin and Ether, with Bitcoin remaining the strategic centerpiece of the firm’s crypto positioning.
- Wood disclosed a tactical move to gain Ethereum ecosystem exposure through BitMine rather than a direct ETH allocation.
- She warned that Ethereum faces congestion, scaling pressure and competition from Layer 2 networks, and described her divergence from Fundstrat’s Tom Lee as a friendly disagreement.
