Citadel Bought $16 Billion in AI Stocks From Situational Awareness After Leverage Turned a 439% Gain Into a Margin Crisis

The fund survives with a smaller book and its Anthropic stake intact, but the episode exposes a structural problem: even the most conviction-heavy AI thesis cannot survive 4x leverage when semiconductor stocks correct 15-20% in a month.
