Situational Awareness seeks Fluidstack co-investment at reported $40bn valuation
Hedgeweek, citing a Bloomberg report, says Situational Awareness is raising fresh capital so clients can co-invest in an AI infrastructure funding round for Fluidstack that could value the startup at $40bn. The report says the proposed valuation is roughly double an earlier round, and that a Fluidstack co-founder disputed Bloomberg's reporting. The fund, founded by Leopold Aschenbrenner, reportedly faced margin calls earlier this year and sold most of its listed equity portfolio to Citadel at a discount.
