**Situational Awareness, the AI-focused hedge fund launched by former OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner, faced acute pressure in July 2026 after leveraged bets on semiconductor and infrastructure stocks triggered steep losses and margin calls.** Assets under management fell sharply from a peak near $45 billion to around $10 billion, prompting a fire-sale of most public equity holdings to Citadel. The fund has since pivoted toward private investments, including a $400 million commitment to chip-manufacturing startup Source Foundry in early August that brought its total stake to $500 million, and more recently has re-entered public markets via options on names such as AMD, CoreWeave, and Bloom Energy. Early backers include Jane Street and tech figures like the Collison brothers, yet reputational damage from the drawdown and the fund’s skeleton staff have complicated fresh outside capital raises. Key near-term catalysts include any confirmed inflows before resolution deadlines and the expected timing of an Anthropic IPO that could support valuations of remaining private holdings.
