1. The most notable change is the substantial new/increased positions in Bitcoin mining stocks and power infrastructure stocks, including CLSK CleanSpark ($104.5M), TE T1 Energy ($43.9M), PSIX Power Solutions ($26.3M), BW Babcock & Wilcox ($19.9M), SHAZ SharonAI ($18.1M), PUMP ProPetro ($13.1M), as well as Bitfarms ($38.8M) and BTDR Bitdeer ($29.8M).

2. New or significantly increased positions were established in a number of smaller semiconductor-related holdings: AMD ($20.2M), TSM Taiwan Semi ($7.6M), ASML ($6.1M), MU Micron ($5.9M), the Semiconductor ETF SMH ($10.3M), and INTC Intel ($8.9M).

This suggests the fund is taking a more refined approach to specific segments of the AI supply chain — such as advanced-node manufacturing, memory, and equipment. Whereas the fund may previously have held a cautious or hedged stance on semiconductors as a whole, this quarter it has shifted to a partially bullish view on select names. This looks more like a risk rebalancing move than a major directional change.

3. The portfolio is pivoting toward a more focused combination of miners + energy + data centers.
