TREE NEWS update: Situational Awareness LP, led by ‘AI stock guru’ Leopold Aschenbrenner, disclosed a 13F showing $20.2B in concentrated AI infrastructure bets, with over half in memory chips (SanDisk, Micron). The fund had liquidated all downside hedges in Q2, pivoting to unhedged longs, which led to massive losses and a forced selloff to Citadel after AI stocks crashed in July.
AI Stock Guru’s Downfall: Fund’s 13F Reveals Leveraged AI Bets
The notable detail is structural, not directional: a fund built around a single thematic thesis removed its hedges precisely as that thesis became most crowded, leaving no buffer when memory-chip exposure turned. That is a leverage and risk-management story as much as an AI sentiment story, and it matters because forced selling into a counterparty can amplify moves in the same concentrated names. Whether other 13F filers show similar de-hedging in AI infrastructure is the open question worth watching.
