Cathie Wood Maintains Support for Bitcoin

Praising the Bitcoin network, Wood stated that the network is much larger than the cloud infrastructures built by Amazon, Google, and Microsoft in the last 15-20 years. Meanwhile, Cathie Wood’s Ark fund continues to invest in the Ark 21Shares spot Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) by reducing holdings in the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO).
Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood restated her bullish outlook on Bitcoin on January 19, stating that Bitcoin is supported by the world’s largest computer network. Wood claimed that the Bitcoin network is larger than the total of clouds created by Amazon, Google, and Microsoft in the last 15-20 years.
Wood referred to data from Ark Invest’s digital asset director Yassine Elmandjra in January when the Bitcoin hash rate exceeded 500 exahashes/s. Elmandjra said, “For every star in our galaxy, the Bitcoin network is performing 5 billion calculations per second. To reach the hash rate of the Bitcoin network, every person worldwide making one hash per second would take about 2000 years,” and shared some factors about the size of the Bitcoin network.
