That's up from about 7.31M shares held at the end of Q4, disclosed in ARK's 13-F filed Friday.The Tesla move "seems to have marked a cultural and institutional tipping point for Bitcoin," Yassine Elmandjra, ARK's cryptoasset analyst, said this week on a webinar.A big reason is that Tesla "is both a thriving company and hasn’t had any prior involvement with Bitcoin," he added.ARKW rose 6.6% this past week.
