Cathie Wood Goes on AI Buying Spree: Loads Up on Google, Meta and CoreWeave
The AI sector has witnessed a notable divergence in trading patterns recently, with $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ experiencing isolated declines among the Mag 7 tech giants, while Alphabet has achieved consecutive record highs over three days. Since early November 2025, stocks aligned with the "Google chain"—including $Alphabet-C (GOOG.US)$ and $Broadcom (AVGO.US)$ —have surged, contrasting sharply with the downturn in the "OpenAI chain," encompassing $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ , $SoftBank Group Corp (SFTB.CA)$, $Oracle (ORCL.US)$ , and $CoreWeave (CRWV.US)$. This shift signals a potential reconfiguration in the longstanding "AI trade" logic, driven by advancements in large language models and chip technologies.
However, as we also discussed in TPU Are Not Killing GPU. The AI Chip Pie Keeps Getting Bigger, the key variable isn't the GPU versus TPU rivalry, but rather the overall growth rate of cloud AI chip expenditure. Crucially, this overall growth trajectory remains robust. Philippe Laffont, founder of prominent tech fund Coatue, also made a rare public comment, contending that these two curves (green representing the Google chain, blue the OpenAI chain, as depicted below) will eventually cross again, with the 'OpenAI chain' set to regain its upward momentum.
Cathie Wood's Latest Invest
Against this backdrop, Cathie Wood's ARK Invest has adopted an aggressive "big shopping" mode, acquiring stakes in 12 companies across AI giants, compute infrastructure, and cryptocurrency themes. This strategy demonstrates a balanced approach, hedging across both Google and Nvidia chains while reinforcing long-term convictions.
On the AI front, ARK significantly increased its position in Alphabet by over 170,000 shares, valued at approximately $16.7 million, capitalizing on the stock's momentum toward a $4 trillion market cap. Similarly, $Meta Platforms (META.US)$ saw an addition of about 33,800 shares, aligning with its nearly 4% rally and reversal from recent weakness. These moves reflect confidence in the technical moats of these AI leaders, particularly amid Meta Platforms' exploration of TPU alternatives.
In compute infrastructure, ARK continued its heavy accumulation of $CoreWeave (CRWV.US)$ , purchasing nearly 400,000 shares on November 24, 2025, bringing the three-day total to over 1.2 million shares—despite a 3.14% drop in the stock amid concerns over its Nvidia GPU reliance and potential TPU shifts by clients like Meta Platforms. This bold bet underscores ARK's faith in CoreWeave role in AI data center expansion, where revenue has more than doubled recently.
The cryptocurrency segment remains a core pillar, with ARK adding over 210,000 shares of $BLOCK INC (BSQKZ.US)$, nearly 110,000 shares of $Circle (CRCL.US)$, nearly 40,000 shares of $Bullish (BLSH.US)$ , approximately 15,000 shares of $Coinbase (COIN.US)$ , and over 7,600 shares of $Robinhood (HOOD.US)$. These purchases extend Wood's longstanding thesis on digital assets as a hedge against traditional markets and a beneficiary of blockchain-AI synergies.
On the selling side, ARK offloaded over 350,000 shares of $Palantir Technologies Inc (PLTR.CA)$, valued at about $55 million, amid its rebound from recent lows. Additionally, the fund reduced its holdings in $Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$ by about 100,000 shares, worth roughly $21.98 million, as the stock fell 4.15% on TPU-related reports. Other reductions included $Exact Sciences (EXAS.US)$ , indicating active portfolio rebalancing away from non-core positions.
Takeaways
Wood's maneuvers reveal a clear logic: bolstering exposure to AI frontrunners like Alphabet and Meta Platforms for their innovation edge; doubling down on infrastructure plays like CoreWeave despite short-term volatility; and sustaining crypto allocations as a diversified growth avenue. This dual emphasis on Google and Nvidia chains mitigates risks from the ongoing rivalry, positioning ARK to capture upside from potential rebounds as forecasted by Laffont.
For investors, this highlights the importance of agility in AI-themed portfolios. While Gemini 3's advances and TPU momentum favor Alphabet in the near term, the sector's fluidity—evidenced by custom chip proliferation—suggests diversified bets across models and hardware could yield superior returns. As AI infrastructure spending surges, monitoring crossovers in these value chains will be crucial for navigating future market rotations.

Tommy-T : and thats how you know its about to dump
76076782 Tommy-T : doesn't sound like a dump to me. CoreWeave's computing infrastructure dominance. How come CoreWeave keep winning awards ? This ain't over ...by far
Pollster : now that cathie has sold palantir , it inspires confidence , but unfortunately she also bought meta , cant she buy her regular junk like roku , roblox and other loss makers
