**Situational Awareness, the AI-focused hedge fund founded by former OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner, faced acute pressure in late July 2026 after steep losses on leveraged semiconductor and infrastructure positions triggered margin calls.** Assets under management fell sharply from a peak near $45 billion to roughly $10 billion, prompting a large-scale sale of its public equity book—including holdings in names like Broadcom, CoreWeave, and Nebius—to Citadel at a discount. Aschenbrenner’s investor letter framed the selloff as a buying opportunity and invited fresh commitments starting August 1, yet credible reporting indicates limited uptake amid reputational damage. The fund later deployed $400 million into chip-manufacturing startup Source Foundry, preserving its Anthropic stake and demonstrating ongoing private-market activity, but no confirmed outside capital inflows have materialized. Traders weigh these stabilization steps against the tight window and operational focus on deleveraging when assessing near-term raise prospects.
