Situational Awareness, described in the report as an AI hedge fund, has reportedly become active again in the options market, according to comments aired by CNBC anchor David Faber and cited by Sina Finance. Faber, referencing unnamed sources during a live broadcast, said Leopold Aschenbrenner resumed buying options in the latter part of last week and at the start of this week. He said the trades involved hundreds of millions of dollars in option premiums. According to Faber, the underlying names include companies that have frequently appeared in Aschenbrenner’s earlier portfolio, including SK Hynix, SanDisk, Advanced Micro, Bloom Energy, and CoreWeave. Faber also said it remains unclear whether Aschenbrenner has raised new capital for public market investing. The report does not provide further detail on the size of individual positions or the structure of the options trades.
