Leopold Aschenbrenner's Hedge Fund Unwinds Portfolio After AI Investment Losses
Leopold Aschenbrenner's hedge fund, Situational Awareness LP, has unwound its public equity portfolio after significant losses in AI infrastructure and software stocks. The fund, which managed up to $24 billion, sold most public holdings to Citadel and other buyers while retaining private investments, including a notable stake in Anthropic. Despite earlier strong returns, market declines and adverse short positions pressured the fund, which sought support from major banks to manage its positions and meet margin calls. The fund's private holdings may help offset some public-market losses if Anthropic goes public.
