With help like this, you might need a bigger boat. Vicky Ge Huang reports on Cathie Wood of ARK Investment Management in The Wall Street Journal:

Cathie Wood still expects the price of bitcoin to hit $1 million someday.

The founder of ARK Investment Management built the firm into an investor darling during the Covid-19 pandemic with successful bets on largely unprofitable, “disruptive” technology companies.

Wood, who developed a cult-like following as a fund manager, continues to be a big proponent of crypto and blockchain technology. Crypto exchange Coinbase Global is among ARK’s top holdings.

Yet she was caught flat-footed once interest rates began rising. Shares of her flagship fund have lost two-thirds of their value since November 2021, while bitcoin and Coinbase have fallen about 50% and 75%, respectively, over the same period.
