Last week ARKQ initiated a position in Nio and swooped up shares worth $8.4 million based. The ETF also counts Tesla as its top holding, a stock that Wood has estimated will breach the $3,000 milestone by 2025.

This is Ark Invest’s fourth buy in BYD so far this year, a stock that it has been accumulating since 2021. 

In February, BYD sold over double the number of electric vehicles than Nio, Xpeng, and Li Auto combined.
