The AI Stock Genius Who Made 60x Bets $7.7 Billion on Nvidia Topping Out

An AI-focused hedge fund named Situational Awareness LP, known for its 60x returns, has taken a significant bearish stance on semiconductor stocks in Q1 2026. Its 13F filing reveals a massive 148% quarterly increase in nominal exposure to $13.677 billion, with over 60% of the new exposure directed towards put options on major chip players. Key bearish bets include $2.04 billion in puts on the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) and $1.56 billion on NVIDIA, alongside positions against Broadcom, Oracle, AMD, and others. The fund simultaneously increased its long equity holdings in AI infrastructure and compute providers like CoreWeave and Bitcoin mining companies repurposing for compute. The core thesis behind this positioning is a shift in the primary constraint for AI expansion. The fund argues that while GPU supply was the critical bottleneck in previous years, the new limiting factors for large-scale AI cluster deployment are physical infrastructure: electrical grid access (with multi-year backlogs in the US), power availability, land, and data center construction timelines. The fund is not betting against AI's success but rather hedging against potential valuation corrections in semiconductor stocks whose prices may have run ahead, while directly investing in the downstream physical bottlenecks—power and data center capacity—it believes will capture value next. This move translates a previously theoretical narrative about infrastructure constraints into a concrete, high-conviction portfolio structure.

Why Are the Most Believers in AGI Buying NVIDIA Put Options?

The article analyzes the significant, market-moving 13F filing for Q1 2026 by Situational Awareness LP (SALP), a fund managed by former OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner. While Aschenbrenner is a prominent believer in the accelerated arrival of AGI and has built the fund as a focused bet on AI infrastructure, the filing revealed large new put option positions (totaling billions in notional value) on key AI/semiconductor names like Nvidia, SMH ETF, Broadcom, and AMD. The article argues this is not a bearish turn on AI but a sophisticated hedging strategy. Given the macro backdrop in late March (rising oil prices, inflation concerns, higher-for-longer interest rates), the fund is managing volatility in its high-beta, high-valuation portfolio of AI infrastructure plays (like Bloom Energy, CoreWeave, Core Scientific). The puts act as "insurance" against a potential systemic pullback in the AI trade. Simultaneously, SALP maintained or added to core long positions in companies tied to power, data centers, compute, and storage—the "bottlenecks" expected to capture AI capital spending. It trimmed or exited some Q1 winners (e.g., Lumentum) and reduced leverage (e.g., selling CoreWeave calls), suggesting a rotation from crowded, high-momentum trades towards assets with clearer long-term fundamental pathways. The key takeaway is an evolution in the AI investment theme: from a broad, linear rally to a more discerning, "show-me-the-money" phase. The focus shifts from simply buying the AI narrative to identifying companies that can convert capex into tangible revenue, while actively managing portfolio risk in a volatile macro environment. The strategy reflects a move from unilateral bullishness to "offense with defense."

Is Citadel’s XRP ETF A Game-Changer Or Is It Another Empty Whistle?

Citadel Advisors, led by Ken Griffin, has reportedly closed all put options on its Canary XRP ETF while retaining 34,900 call options, signaling potential bullish confidence in XRP's price. An unverified 13F filing suggests Citadel holds $1.7 million in XRP ETF exposure. This follows the firm's earlier $500 million investment in Ripple in November 2025. Concurrently, XRP spot ETFs recorded their highest weekly inflow in 2026 at $60.5 million, bringing total net inflows to $1.39 billion. Analysts note institutional accumulation contrasts with retail selling, likely anticipating key regulatory and market developments like the CLARITY Act and Fed Chair appointment. These moves suggest large funds are positioning for potential upside ahead of significant XRP ecosystem events.

Nvidia's Wednesday 'Big Test': The Battle That Will Determine the Fate of the AI Bull Market is Here!

NVIDIA Faces Key AI Bull Market Test with Wednesday Earnings Report NVIDIA is set to release its quarterly earnings after the market close on Wednesday, May 20th (US Eastern Time). This report is seen as a critical stress test for the current AI-driven bull market cycle. The semiconductor sector is technically severely overbought, with extremely bullish options positioning. The rare signal of stock prices and implied volatility rising simultaneously indicates significantly amplified two-way risk around this earnings event. The core tension identified by analysts is strong fundamental demand for AI versus mounting technical pressures. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) is trading approximately 60% above its 200-day moving average, a deviation not seen since the peak of the dot-com bubble in 1999/2000. While NVIDIA's current quarter revenue is expected to beat estimates by a substantial margin, market focus is intensely on the guidance for the next quarter. Historically, NVIDIA's stock has frequently declined on the day following its last five earnings reports. The options market presents contradictory signals: extreme bullish call skew persists, yet there is notable activity in tail-risk hedging via put options on broader indices and semiconductor ETFs. This suggests traders are chasing gains while simultaneously preparing for potential sharp volatility. A broader market concern is narrowing breadth. Despite the S&P 500's YTD gain, only about half of its constituents are positive, with leadership heavily concentrated in a few mega-cap AI and semiconductor names like NVIDIA. Analysts question whether this reflects market health or a "funding source" effect, where money flows out of lagging sectors into the AI trade. The earnings outcome and, crucially, the forward guidance will test the market's conviction in the AI compute super-cycle thesis. Given NVIDIA's high correlation with the semiconductor and broader tech sector, its results are poised to trigger widespread market moves in either direction.

24-Year-Old "Wall Street Newcomer" Portfolio Adjustments Revealed: Shorts Chips Heavily in Q1, Bullish on Energy and AI Infrastructure

A 24-year-old Wall Street prodigy, Leopold Aschenbrenner, has disclosed the Q1 portfolio adjustments for his fund, Situational Awareness LP. The fund's assets under management skyrocketed from $5.52 billion to $13.7 billion. The most significant move was a massive bearish bet on the semiconductor sector. The fund established $8.46 billion in put options, targeting chipmakers like NVIDIA ($1.6B in puts) and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH, $2B in puts). This bearish stance extended to Broadcom, Oracle, AMD, Micron, ASML, Intel, Corning, and TSMC. However, the fund made a selective bullish exception, adding shares and call options for memory chip maker SanDisk. The fund maintained its core bullish thesis on energy and AI infrastructure. Bloom Energy remained its largest long equity holding. It also increased stakes in cryptocurrency mining/data center firms like CleanSpark, Riot Platforms, Applied Digital, and IREN Limited, viewing them as providers of critical ready-to-use infrastructure—land, power, and grid permits—for AI expansion. The 13F filing was submitted one day late. Overall, the fund's strategy involves substantial bearish semiconductor bets while maintaining concentrated, high-volatility investments in selective tech, computing, and infrastructure plays aligned with AI growth.

A Quick Look at the Latest Moves of the 24-Year-Old 'AI Stock God': Sixty Percent of the Portfolio Hedging Against Semiconductor Downturn

24-year-old AI investing prodigy Leopold Aschenbrenner's fund, Situational Awareness LP, has disclosed its Q1 2026 13F holdings. The fund's total portfolio nominal value surged 148% to $13.7 billion, driven by both investment gains and significant new capital inflows. The most striking move was the establishment of massive short-term hedges against potential volatility in the AI semiconductor sector. Over 60% of the fund's nominal exposure is now in put options (bets on declines) targeting major AI hardware stocks like NVIDIA (NVDA), VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH), Broadcom (AVGO), and AMD. Notably, the fund also holds call options (bets on rises) on some names like Micron (MU) and TSMC, indicating it expects extreme price swings in these stocks. Alongside these hedges, the fund remains a long-term bull on AI infrastructure. It significantly increased its equity stakes in companies like GPU cloud provider CoreWeave (CRWV) and added to positions in power/energy infrastructure firms like Bloom Energy (BE), albeit after taking substantial profits on the latter. The fund also exited positions in optical communication hardware (LITE, COHR) and reduced leverage by clearing out large call option positions on Intel and CoreWeave. In essence, the portfolio reflects a dual strategy: cautious on near-term semiconductor valuations and potential over-extension, while maintaining a conviction that the true long-term bottlenecks and value will be in the underlying infrastructure powering the AI revolution—such as energy, data centers, and compute availability.

A Quick Look at the Latest Portfolio of the 24-Year-Old 'AI Stock God': 60% Allocation Hedges Against Semiconductor Downturn

Summary: The article analyzes the latest 13F filing from "AI stock prodigy" Leopold Aschenbrenner's fund, Situational Awareness LP, for Q1 2026. The fund's holdings surged to $13.7 billion, with a significant 32.5% net inflow. Key portfolio adjustments reveal a dual strategy: * **Hedging Semiconductor Downturn:** Over 60% of the fund's *notional value* is allocated to massive put options on major AI semiconductor and hardware stocks (e.g., NVDA, AVGO, AMD, SMH ETF). This acts as a high-leverage hedge against potential short-term volatility or correction in the chip sector. * **Long-term Bullishness on AI Infrastructure:** Alongside the hedges, the fund maintains and increases core long positions in companies providing critical AI infrastructure. This includes substantial equity stakes in CoreWeave (GPU cloud services), Bloom Energy (on-site power), and various power/electrical/data center firms (KEEL, IREN, etc.). Other notable moves include switching Intel exposure from high-leverage calls to minimal stock, exiting optical networking stocks (LITE, COHR), and taking profits in some positions like Bloom Energy and CoreWeave calls. The analysis concludes that Aschenbrenner is not simply turning bearish on AI. Instead, the strategy reflects a nuanced view: extreme caution toward near-term "chip maker" valuations deemed potentially frothy, coupled with strong conviction in the long-term scarcity and value of the underlying *infrastructure* (power, data centers, cloud capacity) required to sustain the AI boom. The fund is preparing for industry volatility while betting on the next potential bottlenecks in the AI supply chain.

Nvidia's Wednesday Earnings Night: The Battle That Decides the Fate of the AI Bull Market is Here

NVIDIA is set to report its quarterly earnings after the U.S. market closes on Wednesday, May 20. This event is widely seen as a crucial test for the current AI-driven bull market. The semiconductor sector is exhibiting severe technical overbought conditions, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) trading approximately 60% above its 200-day moving average—the most extreme deviation since the dot-com bubble peak of 1999/2000. Market sentiment is highly concentrated on a few AI-related stocks, raising concerns about overall market breadth. Analysts highlight a key contradiction: while fundamentals for AI and semiconductors remain strong, significant technical pressures are building. Option market activity reflects this tension. Positions are heavily skewed towards bullish calls, yet there is also notable hedging activity through put options on broad indices and sector ETFs, signaling preparation for potential downside volatility. An unusual pattern of rising stock prices alongside rising implied volatility further underscores the market's expectation for a major move. For NVIDIA specifically, the market's primary focus will be on its forward guidance for the next quarter, which is deemed more critical than the immediate earnings results. Despite a recent seven-day rally adding roughly $1.7 trillion in market cap, historical data shows NVIDIA's stock has often declined the day after its past five earnings reports. The outcome of this report is expected to have a significant ripple effect across the broader technology and semiconductor markets, given NVIDIA's pivotal role.
