On Tuesday, Cathie Wood's Ark Invest made some significant trades, notably buying shares of $Shopify (SHOP.US)$ and selling off $Block (SQ.US)$ stocks.

The Shopify Trade

Ark Invest's ETFs, including $ARK Fintech Innovation ETF (ARKF.US)$, $ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK.US)$, and $ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW.US)$, purchased a total of 105,034 shares of Shopify. The move came after Shopify's first-quarter earnings report, which was released earlier in the month. The trade was valued at approximately $6.09 million, based on Shopify's closing price of $58.03 on Tuesday.

Notably, this is the second day in running that Ark Invest has piled on Shopify shares. On Monday, the Wood-led firm added  shares worth $18 million to its portfolio.

The Block Inc Trade

On the same day, Ark Invest sold a total of 210,591 shares of Block across its ARKF, ARKK, and ARKW ETFs. The trade was valued at approximately $15 million, based on the Jack Dorsey-led company's closing price of $71.20 on Tuesday.

Block had recently reported its first-quarter financial results, which beat the analyst consensus estimate. The company's shares rose after the announcement. For more details on Block's first-quarter earnings and strategic Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) investment, refer to this Benzinga report.

On Tuesday, Bitcoin prices dipped, failing to hold on to gains from the previous day, after wholesale inflation data came in higher than expected.

• The firm sold shares of $Velo3D (VLD.US)$ and shares of $Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (KTOS.US)$.
