June 12, 2026 trading records show Cathie Wood’s ARK ETFs bought 3,291,184 SpaceX shares while cutting AMD, expanding investor access to private markets and space technology despite liquidity and valuation risks.
Cathie Wood’s ARK funds disclosed June 12, 2026 trading showing a major pre-IPO investment in SpaceX, buying 3,291,184 shares valued at $444,309,840 across multiple ETFs, while also reducing AMD exposure. The move highlights ARK’s effort to give fund investors access to private markets and reflects stronger interest in space technology as a long-duration growth theme tied to launch services, satellites and related infrastructure. The same records showed ARKQ, ARKW and ARKX sold 80,536 Advanced Micro Devices shares worth $39,337,809, extending a broader trim to the chipmaker holding. Because SpaceX is private, the purchase also underscores valuation and liquidity risks, as such shares are harder to price, trade and exit than listed stock.
