One of the ARK Invest exchange-traded funds run by ETF star Cathie Wood made a sizable purchase on Wednesday. The fund bought over 1 million shares of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTC: GBTC), as the price of this ETF was relatively flat on the day. Note that this fund is still up significantly in the past year.

Specifically, ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKW) bought 1,046,002 shares of Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust. At Tuesday’s closing price, this would have valued this purchase at roughly $29.3 million. Even though this is a small fraction of the fund’s total holdings, every little bit counts. The fund is up 73% in the past year.
