Leopold's Fund Clears Public Stocks, Retains Sole Anthropic Stake Amid AI Shift

Situational Awareness fund liquidated nearly all public equities, keeping only private Anthropic shares. Citadel reportedly absorbed the sold stocks, signaling a pivot to private AI assets.

Woofun AI reports that the Situational Awareness fund, managed by Leopold Aschenbrenner, liquidated almost all public market positions in late July, retaining exclusively its private equity stake in Anthropic. Reports indicate that Citadel acquired the majority of the divested shares. Previously managing $45 billion in assets, the fund reduced public holdings following losses in AI infrastructure stocks. Aschenbrenner highlighted a potential Anthropic IPO as a key catalyst in a July investor letter. Analysts view this retention as evidence of sustained long-term optimism in AGI, while noting that ordinary investors currently lack direct access to Anthropic shares.
