According to Business Insider, Ark Invest founder and CEO Cathie Wood did not invest in the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy exchange-traded fund (ETF) on its first day.

Wood had this to say regarding the ETF's debut:

"We did not [invest]," says the narrator. We're taking a close look at this [...] there are specific tax implications we'd like to learn more about in terms of contango versus more traditional backwardation."

When the future price is greater than the current price, the ETF is in contango. In a negative trend, backwardation occurs when the forward price of a futures contract is lower than the spot price.

In June, wood's Ark Invest teamed up with 21 Shares to file for its Bitcoin (BTC) ETF. When it comes to investing in cryptocurrencies, she is also no stranger to the stock market.

Ark Investment Management, one of her funds, has been permitted to invest in Canada's Bitcoin ETF, the Ark Next Generation ETF. Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) has 8.3 million shares, with Bitcoin and Ether (ETH) accounting for a significant portion of Ark Invest's portfolio.

Ark Invest also added Coinbase stock to three of its ETFs in the spring, including the Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK), the Ark Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW), and the Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (ARKF).

Wood stated that she is on the lookout for the next FAANG investment that will benefit her investors. FAANG is an abbreviation for the five largest American technology companies: Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google. Jim Cramer first invented the phrase "FAANG" in 2013.

On its first day of trading, the Bitcoin Strategy ETF recorded the highest natural volume of any ETF and the second-highest overall volume.
