Leopold Aschenbrenner, the 24-year-old Wall Street prodigy, has revealed significant shifts in his fund's portfolio for Q1 2026. His fund, Situational Awareness LP, has grown its assets under management from $5.52 billion to $13.7 billion, marking a rapid expansion since its inception. The latest 13F filing shows a strategic move to heavily short semiconductor manufacturers, with $8.46 billion in put options, including $2 billion on the VanEck Semiconductor ETF and $1.6 billion on NVIDIA.
Despite the bearish stance on semiconductors, Aschenbrenner remains bullish on energy and AI infrastructure. His fund's largest holding is in Bloom Energy, with 6.5 million shares valued at $8.79 billion. Additionally, the fund has increased investments in cryptocurrency mining and data center operators like CleanSpark and Riot Platforms, leveraging their existing infrastructure for AI expansion. The late filing of the 13F report, due last Friday, has not deterred investor interest in Aschenbrenner's strategic portfolio adjustments.
