Cathie Wood calls latest investment a ‘vote of confidence'
Cathie Wood calls latest investment a 'vote of confidence' originally appeared on TheStreet. ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood has a keen eye for emerging trends in the technology sector and her funds' portfolios reflect her dynamic vision. Known for holdings in crypto-native or crypto-related stocks such as Coinbase (Nasdaq: COIN), Robinhood (Nasdaq: HOOD), Circle (NYSE: CRCL), and Elon Musk's Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA), her investment management firm recently chose to buy a stock that has pivoted toward Ethereum over Bitcoin. ARK Invest purchased $182 million in 4.7 million BitMine Immersion Technologies (NYSE: BMNR) shares, the crypto treasury company announced on July 22. BitMine has recently begun shifted from BTC to ETH as a treasury asset. The company said it expects to dedicate 100% of the net proceeds from the sale to ARK Invest, worth $177 million, to acquire Lee of Fundstrat, Chairman of BitMine's Board of Directors, said: 'We are delighted that Cathie Wood's ARK Invest is taking a substantial stake in BitMine as she sees the exponential opportunity ahead as we target reaching 5% of ETH.' Wood said the firm's investment in BitMine is a "vote of confidence" that Fundstrat will be one of the top crypto treasury companies as Ethereum enables decentralized finance (DeFi) Fundstrat's Tom Lee is very bullish on ETH and believes it could hit $15,000 due to the tokenization and stablecoin boom. Bitwise Asset Management's Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan is also confident in ETH further rallying, attributing the surge to extraordinary demand from exchange-traded products (ETPs) and corporate treasuries since mid-May. ETH has surged more than 50% over the last month and was trading at $3,609.63 at the time of writing.

Private equity firms including Clearlake have bid for Forward Air, sources say
By Svea Herbst-Bayliss and Abigail Summerville NEW YORK (Reuters) -A handful of private equity firms, including Clearlake Capital, Platinum Equity and EQT, have submitted bids to buy Forward Air, three sources familiar with the matter said, as the process to sell the U.S. trucker picks up speed. Forward Air, which specializes in moving hauls which do not take up a full truckload, signaled to investors it wants the strategic alternatives review it announced in January to be wrapped up in a few weeks, possibly around the time the company is expected to release earnings on August 11. Sources said buyout firms Apollo Global Management and AIP have also made bids to buy Forward Air. It could not be immediately learned what the bidders were offering to pay, the sources said. Representatives for Forward Air and AIP declined to comment. Clearlake, Apollo, Platinum and EQT did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The sources spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the private talks, and cautioned no deal is guaranteed and other bidders could still emerge. In June, Reuters reported that Apollo and Blackstone, as well as Platinum and Clearlake, had expressed interest in bidding for the company, signing confidentiality agreements in order to review documents that would help inform their decisions. Greeneville, Tennessee-based Forward Air's share price has tumbled roughly 75% since the company said two years ago it would acquire Omni Logistics, a deal that closed in early 2024. But it has jumped 27% over the last month, pushed by expectations the company will eventually be sold. It traded at $28.14 on Wednesday. The company is currently valued at $855 million, but on a fully diluted basis, including net debt, analysts said the company's enterprise value is closer to $3 billion. Frustrated by the unpopular acquisition, several investors last year began pushing for a sale of the company, which was officially announced in January. Ancora Holdings, which owns 4% of the company, in May sought to speed up the process by pushing for the removal of three long-serving directors it blamed for signing off on the Omni deal and stalling the sales process. The directors resigned soon after the company's annual meeting.
