Star stock picker Cathie Wood wants crypto exposure. And if she can’t get a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund in the U.S.—at least right now—she’s willing to look across the border to Canada.
Wood’s asset-management company, ARK Invest, tweaked the prospectus of the $5.7 billion ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (ticker: ARKW) so the fund can hold cryptocurrencies through Canadian ETFs, a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission shows.
ARK didn’t respond to a request for comment. The ARK Next Generation Internet ETF was off 1.6% in Monday trading; the fund is up 1.2% year to date.
A Bitcoin ETF in the U.S. has been elusive for Wood and other like-minded investors. In the past eight years, the SEC has rejected or delayed at least a dozen of applications, citing concerns over sharp volatilities and potential risks of market manipulation. ARK has teamed up with Switzerland-based 21Shares to file for one in June.

In the meantime, investing in BP requires patience. It still has sizeable oil & gas assets, and as the world continues to get back to normal, things will only get better from here on in. With shares trading at 7.4 times forward price-to-earnings and the company offering a juicy dividend yield of 5.28%, this is one energy giant looking very attractive for a value investor.
