Cathie Wood was investing in Bitcoin when Wall Street still treated it like a joke. Long before spot Bitcoin ETFs, institutional adoption, stablecoins, and tokenization became major financial themes, ARK Invest was already researching whether Bitcoin could become a legitimate monetary asset.
In this video, Cathie Wood explains how her Bitcoin conviction began and why she believes the current phase of crypto adoption could be far more important than short-term market sentiment suggests.
Wood traces her interest in Bitcoin back to 2014 and 2015, when ARK was studying blockchain alongside artificial intelligence as part of what it called the “next generation internet.”
The turning point came through ARK’s work with economist Arthur Laffer.
Wood says ARK’s early Bitcoin research focused on a fundamental question: could Bitcoin perform the three traditional functions of money as a medium of exchange, store of value, and unit of account?
Laffer’s response dramatically changed the way she viewed Bitcoin. He told Wood that Bitcoin represented the type of monetary innovation he had been waiting for since the United States closed the gold window in 1971.
At the time, Bitcoin’s network value was only around $6 billion while the US monetary base was measured in trillions of dollars. That enormous difference in scale helped Wood recognize just how large Bitcoin’s potential market could become.
ARK began gaining exposure when Bitcoin was around $250.
Wood also recalls watching Bitcoin react to the Greek debt crisis in 2015. Instead of behaving purely like a speculative risk asset, Bitcoin strengthened during periods of financial uncertainty, suggesting that it could potentially function as both a growth asset and a hedge against monetary instability.
