but have what she says is the potential to change the world through “disruptive innovation.” Her asset-management firm, ARK Investment Management LLC, has bet heavily on buzzy sectors including alternative-energy businesses, space exploration and digital currencies. Her focus on meme-worthy investments and her ubiquitous presence on Twitter and financial news channels have thrust hersuch as Tesla Inc.

Last month, Ms. Wood joined Mr. Musk and Jack Dorsey, chief executive of Twitter Inc. and Square Inc., for an hourlong virtual discussion on the potential of bitcoin, which had been falling in value for months. “Think about how explosive growth could be,” Ms. Wood said at one point.
