Citadel takes over most of Situational Awareness stock portfolio Citadel’s company, owned by Ken Griffin, acquired most of the public equity holdings of the Situational Awareness fund after the fund suffered severe losses during a sharp sell-off in AI stocks. The fund, founded by former OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner, had gained heavily at the start of the year, but lost about 67% in July as positions tied to AI declined, leading to funding pressures and widespread selling. The deal included prominent public shares such as Broadcom, Intel, and CoreWeave, while Situational Awareness retained part of its own assets, including investments in AI companies such as Anthropic. 📊 Most important takeaway for the market: When leveraged positions turn into forced selling pressure, assets can move quickly from pressured funds to institutions with greater liquidity and the ability to withstand volatility. This deal could be seen as merely a rescue operation for damaged positions, but it also highlights how severe the current correction is in the AI sector. #CitadelBuysSituationalAwarenessEquities
