Cathie Wood's Thursday Crypto Moves: Ark Unloads Nearly $25 Million In Coinbase, Block Stocks

Recent comments by President Donald Trump comparing the U.S. attack on Iranian nuclear sites to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 have sparked criticism from Japanese officials and atomic bomb survivors.
What Happened: During a news conference in the Netherlands on Wednesday, Trump lauded the operation to strike Iranian nuclear facilities. He drew parallels between the &#8220;monumental damage&#8221; inflicted on Iran and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which brought World War II to a close, <a href="https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20250626_15/">reported</a> NHK World, the Japanese state broadcaster.
Mimaki Toshiyuki, co-chair of Nihon Hidankyo, a group representing atomic bomb survivors, expressed his disapproval of Trump&#8217;s remarks. Toshiyuki&#8217;s group, which was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2024, labelled the comments as &#8220;unacceptable&#8221;.
The Hiroshima City assembly unanimously passed a resolution on Thursday, advocating&nbsp;for the peaceful resolution of&nbsp;all armed conflicts. The resolution&nbsp;underscored the city&#8217;s refusal to accept comments justifying&nbsp;the use of atomic bombs&nbsp;or threatening citizens&#8217; freedom.
Nagasaki City&#8217;s mayor, Suzuki Shiro, reiterated these sentiments, stating that the use of nuclear weapons is &#8220;unacceptable&#8221; under any circumstances. He urged Trump and other world leaders to visit Nagasaki to comprehend the inhumanity of nuclear weapons.
Japan&#8217;s Chief Cabinet Secretary, Hayashi Yoshimasa, also weighed in on the issue, highlighting the immense suffering caused by the atomic bombings and the incompatibility of nuclear weapons use with humanitarian principles.

Why It Matters: The criticism comes in the wake of Trump&#8217;s announcement of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46043305/donald-trump-announces-spectacular-military-success-as-us-strikes-key-iranian-nuclear-sites">&#8220;spectacular military success&#8221;</a> following successful strikes on three key Iranian nuclear sites. The strikes were aimed at the destruction of Iran&#8217;s nuclear enrichment capacity and to halt the nuclear threat posed by Iran.
This controversy adds to the existing tension between the U.S. and Japan. Recently, Japan <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46041072/tokyo-cancels-key-security-summit-after-trump-administration-pushes-for-3-5-defense-spending-report">cancelled a key bilateral security meeting</a> with the U.S. after Washington abruptly raised its demand for Tokyo to increase defense spending to 3.5% of GDP, up from the previously requested 3%. 
Furthermore, Japan&#8217;s chief trade negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa, has termed Trump&#8217;s 25% auto tariffs as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46109160/japans-top-trade-negotiator-calls-trumps-25-auto-tariffs-unacceptable-amid-ongoing-talks">&#8216;unacceptable&#8217;</a> amid ongoing trade talks.

Trump's Comparison Of US Strikes On Iran To Hiroshima And Nagasaki Atomic Bombings Sparks Outrage In Japan: 'Unacceptable'

It's common for young adults to move out of home shortly after graduating college, especially if they spent their college years in student housing. However, <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/1lh4o3e/should_i_move_back_home_in_my_late_20s/">living with your parents</a> for a few years after graduating college offers several financial advantages, and a 27-year-old is considering those benefits.
She graduated with an information technology degree last year but hasn't yet found a job in her field. She's currently working part-time at a fast food restaurant and feels like she is wasting her money on rent. Furthermore, she has bad credit.
"I'm not sure where to go from here," she stated.
Redditors offered their advice and shared their experiences with living alone and moving back to their parents' house.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Move Back And Rebuild Your Finances</h2>
Many Redditors encouraged the 27-year-old to move back home to rebuild their finances. A few people shared their success stories of moving back home and paying off debt.
"I was able to create a savings [account] and have enough money to pay off a good chunk of my debt!" one Redditor explained.&nbsp;
It's easier to build your finances when you live with your parents because you will have fewer expenses. You won't have to make monthly rent payments, and some of your other expenses will be covered as well. It also helps when multiple people can run errands like grocery shopping and laundry instead of all of those responsibilities falling on one person.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">These Times Are Different</h2>
Some people feel embarrassed that they have to move back with their parents, especially after they enjoyed a few years of living alone. The 27-year-old may have that concern since she was worried about the post getting a lot of downvotes because she is considering moving back home in her late 20s.
While young adults may hear stories about how their parents married and bought a house in their late 20s, they had an easier financial environment than Gen Z. One Redditor mentioned this in the comments so people wouldn't feel as bad about moving back with their parents or feel like they aren't progressing as much as they would like to.
"The times we are in are very different from when your parents and grandparents were in their prime. Housing is not affordable; inflation and the value of the dollar places you at an insane disadvantage. Lower/Middle-class families can only get ahead by banding together. No shame in survival," one commenter stated.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Your Parents Won't Be Around Forever</h2>
If you have a good relationship with your parents, moving back in with them can lead to plenty of pleasant memories. It's easy to forget that the people we cherish will eventually no longer be with us.
Finances aren't the only driving force between more people living with their parents. People who love their parents may just want to spend more time with them. Some people do not move out until they get married. Other commenters suggested staying at home until you find a more stable job.
"It was good to keep in touch with my parents again, help out a bit in the house until I could get my income back up and move out again," one Redditor said about their experience.

Cathie Wood, founder and CEO of ARK Invest, has recently been on a hot streak of successful and high-profile trades through her <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/06/46107133/cathie-wood-doubles-down-on-shopify-buys-the-dip-dumps-4-6-million-worth-of-robinhood-stock-at-peak">flagship ARK ETFs.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: Wood's recent notable trades include selling a significant stake in Circle Internet Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NYSE">CRCL</a>) and increasing her investment in Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>). 
These moves reflect a strategic shift in ARK's portfolio, emphasizing established technology and semiconductor exposure while reducing positions in companies that have experienced rapid price appreciation.

Last week, ARK <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/46041276/cathie-woods-ark-invest-adds-airbnb-amd-shopify-to-portfolio-slashes-stake-in-circle-internet">offloaded more than</a> 600,000 Circle shares for approximately $147.81 million, followed by more sales amounting to an additional nearly $100 million on Monday. 
Circle, known for issuing the USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>) stablecoin, had seen its stock surge more than 650% since its initial public offering on June 5. Wood's decision to sell appears to be a classic profit-taking move after such a meteoric rise.&nbsp;
At the same time, ARK has been ramping<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/06/46066220/cathie-woods-ark-invest-cashes-out-109-million-out-of-circle-internet-stock-as-shares-spike-pivots-into-robinhood-and-these-chip-stocks"> up its stake</a> in AMD, purchasing over 130,000 shares on Monday and more than 247,000 shares in the previous week, totaling tens of millions of dollars in new investments.&nbsp;
AMD is increasingly recognized as a strong alternative to NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) in the AI chip market, with significant growth in data center and AI processor demand. 
AMD shares are up more than 30% over the past month. The stock received a boost from analyst upgrades, with CFRA raising its rating to Strong Buy and lifting its price target to $165 from $125.&nbsp;
The upgrade reflects growing confidence in AMD's position within the semiconductor and AI sectors, areas where ARK has shown sustained interest.
Wood's strategy appears to be a bet on the broader AI chip market rather than picking a single winner, as evidenced by her holdings in both AMD and Nvidia.&nbsp;

There's no shortage of financial advice telling you how much you should save for retirement. But what does retirement actually look like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45585378/do-you-have-an-upper-class-nest-egg-heres-what-the-top-20-have-saved-for-retirement-hint-its-less-than-youd-think">when you're in the upper class</a>? When you've built real wealth and stopped working — what does that monthly income actually add up to?
For most affluent retirees, the answer lands somewhere between $7,000 and $20,000 per month. That's not just a guess — it's based on how much wealthier households withdraw from investments, plus any additional income they may bring in from rentals or pensions.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Does an Upper-Class Retiree Really Bring in Each Month?</h2>
Pew Research <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/10/41204085/what-screams-im-upper-class-these-are-the-not-so-subtle-signs-of-wealth-according-to-people-on-s">defines upper income</a> as earning at least twice the national median household income. For working households, that bar sits around $149,000 a year, or roughly $12,400 per month.
But retirees aren't working 9 to 5 — their income often comes from a mix of withdrawals, rental income, and other passive streams. So a more realistic benchmark is based on retiree households specifically.
According to the <a href="https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2023/demo/p60-279.pdf">U.S. Census</a>, the median income for households age 65 and older is about $50,290 per year, or $4,190 per month. Using Pew's same logic, that would put the upper-class retiree threshold around $100,580 per year, or $8,380 per month.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Social Security: A Reliable Starting Point</h2>
As of 2025, the maximum monthly Social Security benefit for someone who waits until age 70 is $5,108, according to the <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/faqs/en/questions/KA-01897.html">Social Security Administration</a>. While few retirees receive the absolute max, upper-income earners who delay claiming often see checks in the $3,500 to $4,200 per month range. It's a meaningful stream of income—but for upper-class retirees, it's typically just one piece of a larger financial plan.
Trending: This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars"> become a landlord in just 10 minutes, with minimum investments as low as $100</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Withdrawals from Investments: Where the Bulk Comes From</h2>
If a retiree has a $1 million nest egg and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43399160/suze-orman-says-ditch-the-4-retirement-rule-and-opt-for-less-its-very-dangerous-and-no-longer-works-in-todays-financial-environment">follows the classic 4% rule</a>, they're withdrawing about $40,000 per year — or $3,333 per month. But many upper-class retirees have more than that. With $2 million saved, the withdrawal climbs to around $6,667 per month.
Of course, the 4% rule doesn't account for taxes, inflation, or personal spending habits. Many retirees with large portfolios adjust their strategy to pull slightly more or less, depending on market performance and life expectancy.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rental Income, Dividends, and Side Streams</h2>
Affluent retirees don't just rely on retirement accounts. Some hold rental properties that bring in steady cash flow. Others have dividends, annuities, or part-time income. These extra streams can add another $1,000 to $3,500 or more each month.
And unlike fixed-income retirees, the upper class often has flexibility — they're not just living off what they saved, they're continuing to generate income.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What They're Actually Spending</h2>
According to the <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cesan.nr0.htm">Bureau of Labor Statistics</a>, the average household age 65 and up spends about $57,818 annually — or roughly $4,818 a month. But that's just average. Wealthier retirees often spend far more, not because they're extravagant, but because their lifestyle includes property taxes, travel, healthcare, and legacy planning.
And to comfortably cover those costs — while preserving their lifestyle — many upper-income retirees maintain a monthly income in the $7,000 to $10,000 range, with some bringing in $15,000 to $20,000 or more.
For anyone aiming to join that upper tier, it's a wake-up call: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset">the retirement goal</a> isn't just about hitting a number — it's about building an income plan that holds up month after month.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Investing in stocks isn't easy. You have to stay on top of multiple companies and predict how the future will unfold. While investors confidently hold on to stocks during bullish cycles, many of these same investors fold during bearish markets.
Many Redditors discussed stocks they sold too early in a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/1ley7km/what_stock_did_you_sell_too_early_and_deeply/">recent post</a> that is gaining momentum. Some Redditors lost out on massive, life-changing returns just by exiting reliable companies during corrections.
"If I waited a year, I would be 10x," one Redditor stated when talking about buying Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) in 2020 and selling at breakeven in 2022.&nbsp;

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Volatility Led To Many Exits</h2>
One investor regretted selling Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shares eight years ago. Another investor sympathized and said they also sold Tesla eight years ago, citing 10% daily swings as the main reason for exiting.
Tesla was one of the biggest winners during the pandemic and has gone up by more than 1,000% over the past eight years. While some posts contained nothing more than people talking about their losses, this one contains a valuable lesson.&nbsp;
If you invest in a company for the long run, you have to endure volatility. Sharp price swings are especially common for growth stocks that have tremendous long-term potential. Ignore the price swings and consider where the company will be in the next decade.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fears Are Overblown</h2>
Another Redditor mentioned that they owned 1,000 shares of Netflix (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) about 18 years ago. Netflix doesn't receive as much attention since the FAANG acronym is out of style, but it's still a top-performing stock, especially for early investors.
Trending: This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars"> become a landlord in just 10 minutes, with minimum investments as low as $100</a>.
Netflix shares have gained anywhere from 30,000% to 50,000% since 2007, depending on when investors bought their shares. That's a massive gain to lose out on, but 2007 was right before the Great Recession, so it was common for people to exit the markets frantically.
One commenter offered an interesting perspective on Netflix stock that highlights how some investors were thinking at the time.
"There were a lot of experts over the years, especially in the beginning, saying how other media companies were going to make [Netflix] irrelevant or basically put them out of business."
Those concerns were unfounded, and it goes to show that some people forecast the absolute worst-case scenario. These overblown narratives may have caused some investors to abandon ship, especially during the Great Recession.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Profits Don't Feel Good If You Leave A Lot Of Money On The Table</h2>
Some people posted impressive gains in the comments section that don't feel so good knowing how the assets performed in the long run. One investor bought a bunch of Bitcoin at $0.50 apiece and sold them for $250 to buy a house. It's the type of gain you rarely get, but it still feels like the Redditor missed out on a great opportunity with Bitcoin now above $100,000 a coin.
Another Redditor thought they did well when they bought Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) shares for $2-$3 dollars and sold at $9.50. It's a 3x profit, but AMD stock now goes for more than $100 per share.&nbsp;
It's easy to beat yourself up about missing out on 10x returns, but most investors should love a 3x return. While it makes for entertaining content, dwelling on missed opportunities isn't the right approach for building long-term wealth. You can learn from your mistakes and commit to long-term investments instead of selling amid volatility.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Encompass Health Stock In The Last 5 Years

Approval ratings for President Donald Trump have fallen in the lead-up and aftermath of an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/06/46061928/iran-oil-attack-us-qatar-trump-negotiation">attack on Iran</a>, according to a new Morning Consult poll.
Trump's approval among voters has taken a hit on several key campaign issues.
What Happened: While the focus was on Trump's economic policies and a potential global trade war from tariffs in Trump's first <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/25/04/45069781/trumps-first-100-days-what-he-delivered-where-he-fell-short-how-markets-reacted">100 days in office</a>, voters are now turning attention to international conflict and the potential for more involvement in the Middle East.
A Morning Consult <a href="https://pro.morningconsult.com/trackers/donald-trump-congress-policy-republicans-polling?utm_source=briefing&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=washington_am&amp;utm_content=062425">poll </a>conducted June 20 to June 22 showed Trump with a net approval of -8 points. Voters gave Trump a 45% approval rating and a 53% disapproval rating, meaning more voters disapprove of the president currently than those who approve of him.
The -8 net approval rating tied a low in Trump's second term since he took office in January. Trump's net approval also stood at -8 in late April when concerns of Trump's tariff policies were top of mind for voters.
On the handling of Israel/Iran, Trump had a 43% approval rating and 46% disapproval rating with 12% saying they don't know or were unsure.
Perhaps most concerning for Trump in the new poll was his 49% approval and 43% disapproval rating for his handling of immigration. This +5 rating marked a new low in Trump's second term and was down from +13 just a month ago. The results could show that voters think Trump is being too aggressive with his immigration policies.
Another troubling survey results for Trump is the lack of support for the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act." In the poll, 49% of voters opposed the bill while 37% supported the bill. This is down from previous weeks of the poll.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Trump won the 2024 presidential election in both the Electoral College vote (312 to 226) and the popular vote (49.8% to 48.3%). Trump, as a Republican, also has majority control in both the House and Senate.
While Trump may have been popular with around 50% or more of voters ahead of the 2024 election, he has lost support since taking office.
While past months saw Trump lose support due to the economy, the latest poll shows strong distrust and disapproval due to foreign policy.
One reason for the change could be less focus on the economy with tariff rates declining and the stock market booming.
The S&amp;P 500, tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), is nearing new all-time highs. The ETF is up 4.7% year-to-date, which comes after it was negative for several months during the start of Trump's second term.
The SPY was down 7.8% in Trump's first 100 days in office, marking one of the worst starts to a four-year term in more than 50 years.
The Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which tracks the Nasdaq 100, hit new all-time highs on Thursday. The ETF is now up 7.1% year-to-date, a significant turnaround from a -9.5% performance in Trump's first 100 days.

<h2>Understanding the Relevance of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Within the domain of banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their work involves attending company conference calls and meetings, researching company financial statements, and communicating with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Beyond their standard evaluations, some analysts contribute predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, furnishing investors with additional guidance. Users of analyst ratings should be mindful that this specialized advice is shaped by human perspectives and may be subject to variability.

17 Analysts Have This To Say About ConocoPhillips

Lindsey, a woman in her 30s, recently wrote to Dave Ramsey with a major concern: her husband wants to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40799247/he-quit-his-full-time-web-developer-job-to-start-a-t-shirt-side-hustle-now-he-earns-175k-a-year-work">quit his job</a> and sell their fully paid-off house to open a restaurant. The glaring problem in the whole situation is that he has no experience, has done no research, and doesn&#8217;t have a business plan.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ramsey&#8217;s Warning</h2>
In a <a href="https://x.com/DaveRamsey/status/1936072044442968566">post on X</a> and a related video from &#8220;The Ramsey Show,&#8221; Ramsey naturally didn't hold back.
&#8220;The No. 1 way to go broke is to open a restaurant,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It's like freaking guaranteed.&#8221;

</ul>
Lindsey explained her husband's plan: sell their $500,000 home, move the family into an apartment, and use the money to buy a restaurant, despite having no prior experience. Meanwhile, she would continue working and bring in their only steady income of $85,000 a year.
&#8220;Oh no,&#8221; Ramsey&#8217;s co-host Rachel Cruze repeated while reading the letter. &#8220;Oh, geez. I don&#8217;t even know if I can get through this.&#8221;
Cruze emphasized that Lindsey has a voice in the matter: &#8220;You have a vote too. This is your life as well.&#8221; &#8220;And you&#8217;re on the deed of that house. So don&#8217;t sign it,&#8221; Ramsey added before pointing out that restaurants are not only risky but have one of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42805180/dont-invest-in-rap-restaurant-and-liquor-companies-says-mark-cuban-heres-his-advice-to-nba-players-and-other-millionaire-athletes">highest failure rates</a> in the business world.&nbsp;
He mentioned that the average restaurant has a 300% employee turnover rate per year, making it a difficult and high-stress environment to manage. &#8220;You lose all your people three times a year. That&#8217;s a lot of drama. That&#8217;s a lot of stuff to put up with.&#8221;
Trending: This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars"> become a landlord in just 10 minutes, with minimum investments as low as $100</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Safer Way To Pursue The Dream</h2>
Instead of jumping headfirst into such a risky move, Ramsey laid out a much more practical and safe path for anyone dreaming of opening a restaurant.
&#8220;You do a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44319385/shaq-makes-his-6-kids-pitch-a-business-plan-if-they-want-cash-you-want-me-to-be-the-bank-im-gonna-do-exactly-what-the-bank-is-going-to-do">business plan</a>,&#8221; he wrote on X. &#8220;You go to work in a restaurant. You learn the restaurant business. You work in leadership in a restaurant, management in a restaurant. You understand purchasing in a restaurant.&#8221;
He continued: &#8220;Then you redo your business plan, because now you're going to be smarter. Then you start a catering business on the side. And you grow your catering business so big that you buy a food truck.&#8221;
By that point, he said, you'll be earning enough from the catering and food truck business to open a restaurant with your own money. No need to sell your house or quit your job.
Ramsey also referenced real-world examples of failed restaurants, pointing to last year&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/restaurants/24/05/38924081/bye-bye-biscuits-red-lobster-files-for-chapter-11-bankruptcy-protection">bankruptcy of Red Lobster</a>. &#8220;Just ask Red Lobster. They just filed bankruptcy,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Too many shrimp.&#8221;
For Ramsey, the main point is that dreaming big is fine, but doing it without a plan or experience can result in losing everything. In Lindsey's case, he urged her to stand her ground.
