Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) firms\u2019 shares are a major \u201cbuy\u201d for asset manager ARK Invest in the midst of the FTX meltdown.<\/p>\n

The latest data<\/a> confirms that ARK continues to up its holdings of both exchange Coinbase (COIN) and the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC).<\/p>\n

Cathie Wood buys the dip<\/h2>\n

With FTX contagion still rippling through the crypto industry, ARK\u2019s decision to add exposure to two firms caught in the firing line stands out.<\/p>\n

According to numbers supplied by CEO Cathie Wood\u2019s dedicated tracking resource, Cathie\u2019s Ark, the firm added 176,945 GBTC shares on Nov. 21.<\/p>\n

These join a larger tranche of 273,327 shares from Nov. 15, that purchase completed just a week after FTX fell apart<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since then, GBTC has come under the spotlight<\/a>\u00a0as parent company Digital Currency Group (DCG) battles FTX problems of its own.<\/p>\n

Coinbase is meanwhile another target for ARK. Since the start of November, the firm has added 1.3 million COIN shares, taking its total stake to 8.374 million \u2014 near all-time highs.<\/p>\n

COIN shares now account for ARK\u2019s 12th-largest position.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the FTX debacle in its latest newsletter<\/a>, ARK acknowledged the potential implications for DCG company Genesis Trading, and warned that other \u201ccounterparty\u201d entities may be next.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat said, our conviction in decentralized and transparent public blockchains is as strong as ever,\u201d it nonetheless added. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn this case and others, decentralization and transparency are paramount as antidotes to the gross mismanagement associated with centralized intermediaries, not to mention fraudulent centralized intermediaries.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

BTC price hits new two-year lows<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin price action meanwhile continues to decline, two weeks after problems at FTX spiraled out of control.<\/p>\n

BTC\/USD hit fresh two-year lows on Nov. 21, data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro<\/a> and TradingView<\/a> shows.<\/p>\n

The pair dipped to $15,479 on Bitstamp after the Wall Street open, recovering only slightly to circle $15,750 at the time of writing.<\/p>\n

COIN itself hit a record low at the same time, while equally embattled<\/a> GBTC retained the majority of its discount<\/a>\u00a0at over 40% versus the Bitcoin spot price despite ARK’s buy-in.<\/p>\n
