Situational Awareness, an AI hedge fund led by ex-OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner, has offloaded most of its public stock holdings to Citadel following steep losses. The fund, which once managed up to $45 billion, saw its assets drop to $10 billion after the sale.

Citadel's acquisition aligns with its strategy of buying assets from distressed sellers, betting on a future recovery in AI infrastructure investments.
