Per the Financial Times, Leopold Aschenbrenner's Situational Awareness fund is rebuilding its AI-linked portfolio with fully paid options after a 67% loss. New trades reportedly include AMD, Bloom Energy, CoreWeave, SK hynix, Sandisk and the Roundhill Memory ETF, plus a large rebuilt Intel position via Clear Street. Aschenbrenner says he'll run far less leverage, since fully paid options cap losses at the premium paid.
