Renaissance Technologies, the hedge fund, accurately sold off 99.7% of its Nvidia shares before the Huang Renxun scandal broke out

The latest 13F filing for the third quarter of 2026 submitted by the quantitative hedge fund Renaissance Technologies, founded by mathematician Jim Simons, shows that the institution has significantly adjusted its U.S. stock holdings, nearly completely liquidating its positions in Nvidia, Meta, Apple, and Amazon, with Nvidia's holdings decreasing by 99.7% from a previous market value of approximately $1.42 billion. This reduction occurred weeks before the controversy involving Jensen Huang was exposed.From the perspective of the top ten holdings, Micron Technology ranks first with $1.62 billion, Advanced Micro Devices ranks second with $1.21 billion, followed by United Therapeutics at $908 million, Intel at $835 million, Google's parent company Alphabet at $828 million, and UnitedHealth at $817 million. Additionally, it has established a new position in SpaceX, with a holding value of approximately $621 million.In terms of specific adjustments, the institution has significantly increased its holdings in SanDisk, with the number of shares increasing by 5451%; Micron Technology and UnitedHealth saw their share counts increase by 619% and 507%, respectively, while AMD increased by 140%. Aside from Nvidia, the share counts for Meta, Apple, and Amazon were reduced by 99.9%, 99.8%, and 99.5%, respectively, and it reduced its position in Palantir by 71%. The institution also completely exited its positions in Blackstone, the S&P 500 ETF, Mellanox Technologies, and Danaher, among others.

Grayscale: The various sectors of cryptocurrency are gradually decoupling from Bitcoin's trend, with volatility generally higher than that of Bitcoin

According to a report by Crypto Briefing, Grayscale's research indicates that the correlation between crypto assets and Bitcoin is decreasing, with Bitcoin currently explaining only about 50% of the return volatility across various crypto sectors.The report breaks down the annualized volatility and the impact of Bitcoin-related factors by sector: the annualized volatility of the currency sector is 49%, with 43% attributed to Bitcoin; the annualized volatility of the smart contract platform sector is 58%, with 38% attributed to Bitcoin; the annualized volatility of the finance sector is 59%, with 30% attributed to Bitcoin; the annualized volatility of the utilities and services sector is 67%, with 30% attributed to Bitcoin; the annualized volatility of the consumer and culture sector is 76%, with 46% attributed to Bitcoin; the artificial intelligence sector has the highest annualized volatility at 85%, with only 35% attributed to Bitcoin.The research points out that Bitcoin's own annualized volatility has recently been around 43%, while the volatility of all sectors tracked by Grayscale is higher than that of Bitcoin. The report suggests that lower correlation does not imply lower risk, but the fact that Bitcoin explains only half of the return volatility means that the other half is driven by factors specific to each sector, providing investors with a reference for assessing which sectors can offer true diversification.

first_img Jane Street increased its holdings in Strategy shares by 53.8% to 4.119 million shares

According to Bitcoin Magazine, trading giant Jane Street Group increased its holdings in MicroStrategy (MSTR) by 53.8% in the third quarter, bringing the total to 4,119,097 shares. The 13F filing submitted on Thursday shows that this position as of September 30 increased by 1,441,475 shares from the 2,677,622 shares disclosed on June 30, when the position was valued at $232.8 million. Based on the price of $153.09 per share on September 30, the newly added position is valued at $630.6 million; however, based on Thursday's closing price of $114.41, the same position is valued at approximately $471 million.The filing also lists call options covering 13,573,000 shares of MicroStrategy and put options covering 13,991,800 shares, both of which are more than three times the size of the common stock holdings, with the former valued at $2.08 billion and the latter at $2.14 billion. Since Jane Street is a major market maker in stocks, ETFs, and options, part of the common stock holdings may be hedges against options and market-making books, and the 13F filing does not specify the exact ratio. The report consolidates the holdings of seven managers, including Jane Street Capital, Jane Street Options, and Jane Street Global Trading, listing a total of 14,764 records with a total value of $1.19 trillion.In the 13F submitted on Thursday morning, Jane Street's increase was the highest among large MicroStrategy holdings. Capital International Investors increased its holdings by 4.5% to 36,467,109 shares, valued at approximately $4.17 billion based on Thursday's closing price; Invesco increased its holdings by 10.9% to 10,362,698 shares; Renaissance Technologies reduced its holdings by 41% to 1,515,560 shares and completely liquidated its previously disclosed spot Bitcoin ETF position. The above data is as of September 30, prior to MSCI's decision to remove MicroStrategy from its U.S. index, a change that will force index funds to sell before November 30.
