TREE NEWS reports: Leopold Aschenbrenner’s Situational Awareness has resumed buying options, paying several hundred million dollars in premiums in late last week and early this week, CNBC’s David Faber said, citing unnamed sources. The positions include names familiar to his prior portfolio, such as SK Hynix, SanDisk, Advanced Micro, Bloom Energy and CoreWeave. It remains unclear whether Aschenbrenner raised new capital for public-market investments.
Situational Awareness Resumes Options Buying, Including SK Hynix: Report
The signal here is less the specific names than the return of large premium-paying options activity from a fund whose positioning has been closely tracked. Paying several hundred million in premiums implies conviction and willingness to accept decay, not a hedge. That it touches AI-adjacent hardware and power names suggests the same thematic axis as before. The unresolved question is funding: without clarity on whether new capital was raised, the scale of the position and its durability remain open, and that is what to watch.
