Analysis of the Latest Portfolio Adjustment by the 'Version Prodigy' of US Stocks: 20% Position Possibly Invested in Anthropic, $9 Billion Short on NVIDIA, Ammunition Aimed at Power and Memory Sectors
Leopold Aschenbrenner, a prominent AI investor, is shifting his strategy. While maintaining a significant ~$9B short position on NVIDIA, ASML, and Oracle, he is directing capital towards deeper AI infrastructure and model assets. Key areas include power, memory, data center networking, and a reported ~20% allocation to private AI company Anthropic. The analysis suggests this is not a signal of an AI bubble bursting, but a rotation within the infrastructure stack. The focus is moving from crowded "picks and shovels" plays like semiconductors to physical bottlenecks: power supply, data center construction, and materials like copper and fiber optics for connectivity. NVIDIA's recent $25B debt raise, despite strong cash reserves, is seen as a potential sign of changing financing dynamics in the sector. The long-term conviction remains in foundational infrastructure—particularly energy—which is viewed as a essential demand driver regardless of AI cyclicality.
