Read

13F shows only the long side of option positions and discloses nothing about offsetting structures, swaps, borrows, or paired private longs, so the put book is not, on its face, a directional short call. What it is, unambiguously, is disclosed exposure that pays off if the AI-semi complex draws down, layered on long power (Bloom), hosting (CoreWeave, Core Scientific, IREN, Applied Digital), miners (Riot, CleanSpark, Bitfarms, Bitdeer), and storage (Sandisk).
