February 12 News, in 2026, Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest has once again taken action by continuously increasing its holdings in crypto-related assets through multiple ETFs. According to the latest disclosures, the firm bought a total of 364,044 shares of Bullish stock on Wednesday, worth approximately $11.6 million based on the closing price that day. This marks Ark Invest’s tenth consecutive trading day of increasing its position in this cryptocurrency platform supported by Peter Thiel, indicating a long-term bullish outlook on digital asset infrastructure.
Bullish stock previously rebounded after hitting a low of $24.90 on February 9, and has risen a total of 28.3% over the past five trading days. On Wednesday, the stock closed at $31.88, down slightly by 0.5% intraday, but the overall trend has clearly stabilized. Ark’s continued accumulation is seen as a vote of confidence in its business model and industry prospects.
On the same day, Ark Invest also increased its holdings of 75,559 shares of Circle, with a market value of about $4.4 million. The company is the issuer of the stablecoin USDC, and its stock price fell 3.2% to $57.86 that day.

On the macro level, the US stock market performed modestly that day, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down slightly by 0.1%, the Nasdaq Composite down 0.2%, and the S&P 500 roughly flat. The digital asset market remained relatively stable, with Bitcoin rising slightly by 0.2% over 24 hours to $67,143, and Ethereum up 0.9% to $1,968.
Industry analysts believe that Ark Invest’s ongoing positioning reflects its long-term view of the value of crypto financial infrastructure. During periods of market sentiment fluctuation and valuation corrections, the firm’s steadfast stance may provide important support for related sectors.

BitMine's book loss is nearly $8 billion, yet BlackRock increased its holdings by 165.6%. Why is BMNR still being supported?
February 13 News, despite the recent overall pressure on crypto assets, BMNR's stock price has shown an opposite upward trend. According to public disclosures, global asset management giant BlackRock has increased its stake in BitMine by 165.6%, a move that quickly boosted market sentiment. After the announcement, BMNR rose nearly 2% in that day's trading, becoming one of the few blockchain-related concept stocks to strengthen.
Market analysts believe that BlackRock's increased investment is not a short-term gamble but a recognition of BitMine's long-term strategy. Although the company currently still has approximately $8 billion in unrealized paper losses, it has continued to buy assets during the significant drop in Ethereum prices and has improved capital efficiency through staking. Earlier this week, BitMine again invested about $84 million to increase its Ethereum holdings, demonstrating its firm judgment of medium- and long-term value.
