SBF's Protege Turns $225 Million into $5.5 Billion in One Year

Leopold Aschenbrenner, a 24-year-old former member of FTX’s Future Fund team and later an OpenAI researcher, has become one of the most talked-about figures in AI investing. His fund, Situational Awareness LP, grew its publicly disclosed holdings from $225 million in Q4 2024 to $5.5 billion by Q4 2025—an extraordinary surge in just one year. After graduating top of his class from Columbia University, Aschenbrenner worked at FTX until its collapse. He then joined OpenAI’s Superalignment team but was fired in 2024 following internal disputes over AI safety. Shortly after, he published a influential 165-page essay, "Situational Awareness: The Decade Ahead," which laid the groundwork for his AI-focused investment fund. Situational Awareness LP’s strategy is highly concentrated, with 86% of its portfolio in its top ten holdings. The fund avoids popular AI application plays, instead targeting upstream infrastructure—especially energy, computing, optical communications, and storage. Its largest position is in Bloom Energy, whose stock has surged over 10x since late 2024. The fund also holds several Bitcoin mining companies, including Core Scientific and Bitdeer, betting on their pivot to AI compute rather than crypto. Aschenbrenner’s trajectory mirrors—yet diverges from—that of SBF, his former FTX associate. While SBF faced legal downfall, Aschenbrenner repositioned himself at the forefront of AI investing, turning disruption into opportunity.

SBF's Protege Turns $225 Million into $5.5 Billion in One Year

Leopold Aschenbrenner, a 24-year-old former member of FTX’s Future Fund team and later an OpenAI employee, has become one of the most talked-about figures in AI investing. His fund, Situational Awareness LP, grew its publicly disclosed holdings from $255 million in Q4 2024 to $5.5 billion by Q4 2025—an extraordinary surge in just one year. Aschenbrenner, who graduated top of his class from Columbia University, was involved in the effective altruism movement, much like SBF. After FTX’s collapse, he joined OpenAI’s Superalignment team but was fired in 2024 over internal disagreements regarding AI safety. Shortly after, he published a influential 165-page essay on AI and the path to superintelligence, which led him to establish his AI-focused investment fund. Situational Awareness LP’s strategy is highly concentrated, with 86% of its portfolio in its top ten holdings. It focuses on upstream AI infrastructure—such as energy, computing power, and hardware—rather than application-layer companies. Notable positions include Bloom Energy (which saw a 10x gain), several Bitcoin mining firms transitioning to AI compute (like Core Scientific and Bitdeer), and a short position on Infosys, betting AI will replace IT outsourcing. Aschenbrenner’s story mirrors that of other brilliant young figures in tech and finance, but unlike SBF—now imprisoned—he has pivoted successfully into the AI boom, turning disruption into opportunity.

Crypto Morning Brief: Bitcoin Breaks Through $70,000, Kraken Granted Access to Fed's Core Payment System

Crypto Daily: Bitcoin Surpasses $70,000, Kraken Gains Access to Fed Payment System Key market developments include Bitcoin breaking $70,000 and Kraken becoming the first crypto company approved to access the Federal Reserve’s core payment system. In U.S. economic updates, February ADP employment rose to 63,000, exceeding expectations. President Trump nominated Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve Chair; Warsh has previously expressed that Bitcoin is better suited as a store of value than a currency. Major U.S. regulators submitted a crypto industry oversight plan to the White House. Notable industry moves: Coinbase launched stock trading with extended hours, Backpack introduced on-chain IPO subscriptions on Solana, and Sui’s native stablecoin USDsui went live, with yields benefiting the Sui ecosystem. Corporate Bitcoin strategies clarified: MARA Holdings denied plans to sell its 53,822 BTC, while Chinese firm JZXN announced intent to acquire 10,000 BTC despite its small market cap. Venture firm a16z is raising $2 billion for its fifth crypto fund. Recommended reads cover topics including AI’s market impact, gold and crypto as hedges, semiconductor market volatility, and SpaceX’s potential IPO. Amid traditional market declines, cryptocurrencies demonstrated resilience, reinforcing Bitcoin’s role as digital gold in uncertain geopolitical climates.

The Escalation of the Computing Power War: When 'Crypto Mines' Become 'AI Factories', A New Arena for Energy Arbitrage

The computing landscape has dramatically shifted by early 2026, with Bitcoin mining operations transforming into essential "AI factories." This transition is driven by a global scarcity of power, not just chips, turning pre-existing energized land into a monopolistic infrastructure asset. Former miners, now infrastructure capitalists, leverage their secured power and land—a critical advantage given the 5–7 year wait for new substations. Building AI-ready facilities has become capital-intensive, costing $8–11 million per megawatt, creating a clear divide between scaled leaders like Iris Energy (2910 MW portfolio) and execution-focused firms like TeraWulf and Hut 8, which have secured multi-billion dollar contracts. A key shift is the "hyperscale guarantor" model, where tech giants like Google and Microsoft provide credit backing, transforming risky miner leases into investment-grade contracts. This enables favorable debt financing at ~7.125% interest from major banks. Technologically, high-density liquid cooling is mandatory for platforms like NVIDIA’s Blackwell, which consumes 120 kW per rack. Innovations like Shanghai’s submerged data centers (PUE 1.15) use seawater cooling, reducing power use by 40–60%. The Blackwell supply backlog acts as a moat, locking out late entrants. Companies like CoreWeave, with early chip orders, dominate. The industry has matured into an energy-transition play, treating computation—whether Bitcoin or AI—as an interchangeable output of power assets. The era of pure mining is ending. The new high-stakes game is energy arbitrage, where AI factories become permanent, grid-shaping load-bearing institutions.
