Leopold Aschenbrenner’s hedge fund, Situational Awareness LP, holds a $5 billion stake in Anthropic, representing roughly one-fifth of its total assets under management, which have grown to approximately $20 billion. The position was initially acquired when Anthropic was valued at around $60 billion in February 2025, and has since surged to nearly $1 trillion following the company’s $65 billion Series H funding round closed on May 28, 2026. The fund has generated approximately 270% net returns after fees as of May 2026, with total returns exceeding 1,000% since inception in 2024. Despite recent market corrections in tech and AI sectors, institutional capital continues to flow heavily into artificial intelligence, with Anthropic’s Series H round alone representing more capital than typical annual venture funding for crypto projects.
