TREE NEWS update: Situational Awareness, the fund run by “AI stock god” Leopold Aschenbrenner, will disclose its equity holdings for the third quarter, covering July 1 to Sept. 30, on Nov. 16. The fund reportedly returned 439% in the first half on leveraged bets on SanDisk (SNDK) and Micron (MU), but its portfolio reportedly fell about 67% during the July AI stock selloff before it sold the positions, with Citadel said to have bought a substantial portion. It also bought AMD, Bloom Energy (BE), CoreWeave (CRWV) and SanDisk in trades worth about $315 million.
Leopold’s Situational Awareness to Disclose Q3 Holdings on Nov 16
The disclosure matters less as a snapshot of what the fund owns than as the first public accounting of a portfolio that reportedly swung from a 439% first-half return to a roughly 67% drawdown during the July AI selloff. That sequence — concentrated leveraged AI bets, a forced exit, and Citadel reportedly absorbing much of the position — is a case study in how crowded thematic trades unwind, and it lands on a fund whose profile rests on that same concentration. The AMD, Bloom Energy, CoreWeave and SanDisk purchases suggest the strategy did not abandon AI exposure after the drawdown. Whether the filing shows a genuinely reshaped book or a similar concentration rebuilt is the open question.
