TREE NEWS reports: AI-focused hedge fund Situational Awareness has resumed buying options, paying hundreds of millions of dollars in premiums, CNBC’s David Faber said, citing unnamed sources. The positions include names common in Leopold Aschenbrenner’s prior portfolio such as SK Hynix, SanDisk, Advanced Micro, Bloom Energy and CoreWeave. It remains unclear whether Aschenbrenner raised new capital for the public-market investments.
Situational Awareness Hedge Fund Resumes Options Buying, Targets SK Hynix, SanDisk
AI take
The return of a high-profile AI-focused fund to options buying signals renewed conviction in the listed AI supply chain, even as the broader market debates whether the trade is crowded. The named targets span memory, semiconductors, power and cloud capacity, suggesting a bet on physical infrastructure rather than pure software. Whether this reflects fresh capital or recycled exposure is the open question, and it matters for gauging how much dry powder is chasing these names. Follow-on positioning in the same clusters is worth watching.
