Cathie Wood-led investment management firm Ark Invest on Monday booked more profit in Tesla Inc TSLA as the electric vehicle maker’s stock soared higher to cross the $1 trillion market capitalization.

Ark Invest sold 22,598 shares — estimated to be worth $23.16 million — in Tesla, based on its Monday’s closing price, via the Ark Next Generation Internet ETF ARKW

Tesla shares, which have risen 40.4% so far this year, jumped 12.6% higher to close at $1,024.86 a share on Monday after landing its biggest ever order from rental car company Hertz Global Holdings HTZZ.

Besides ARKW, the Ark Autonomous Technology & Robotics ETF ARKQ and the Ark Innovation ETF ARKK own shares in Tesla.

No other Wood-led ETF owns shares in the Elon Musk-led company.

The three ETFs held a total of 3.28 million shares — worth $2.98 billion — in the electric vehicle company, ahead of Monday’s trade.

Tesla remains Ark Invest's biggest bet across ETFs despite the latest sales — a stock it predicts would hit the $3,000 mark by the end of 2025.

Ark began booking profit in the stock in early September when shares of the Musk-led company began an upward march.

Including the latest sale, the New York-based money managing firm has sold about $917.25 million worth of shares in Tesla since the start of September.
