Specifically, ARK Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKK) bought 216,219 shares of Roku and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSEARCA: ARKW) bought 71,357 shares. At Thursday’s closing price, this would have valued this purchase at roughly $83.2 million altogether. Even though this is a small fraction of the total holdings, every little bit counts. The innovation fund is up 30% in the past year, and the other is up closer to 37%.
