Introduction: This is a snapshot of stock portfolios from within the crypto community—the author privately messaged 120 KOLs, and 55 of them provided detailed holdings. The results show that the rotation between crypto and stocks is accelerating, with AI, metals, and energy being the consensus overweight sectors, and humanoid bots are moving from "watchlists" to actual positions.

Over the past few weeks, I conducted a private survey of all the KOLs I know, covering all the group chats I'm in.

We contacted about 120 people, and 55 of them gave detailed answers.

The survey period was from mid-January to early February—some positions may be outdated, please refer to them at your discretion.

The following are the survey results:

Personally held core stocks

• Humanoid robots represent the biggest opportunity of the next decade—comparable to early Bitcoin purchases.
• Memory shortage + AI supercycle + geopolitical supply chain → The most diverse multi-track theme in this group
• Pure memory shortage bet, 2-year conviction (from a stock hedge fund)
• INTC + AMZN, focusing on the US government/policy perspective
• Big Tech → Metals: Core Macroeconomic Rotation Bet
• Sandisk as a long-term stock holding

Big picture perspective

Of the 55 respondents who participated in the survey and were actively involved in the stock market:

• 50 people are currently trading stocks.
• Five of them are stock market novices (just getting started).
• Many others said they were "waiting" or still observing.

High-confidence positions (with detailed analysis)

One interviewee (with a background in equity hedge funds) is bullish on the AI-driven memory shortage, believing demand will continue to grow over the next two years. They hold significant positions in SNDK, LRCX, ICHR/UCTT, and power-related stocks.

Another interviewee: Deeply invested in memory/semiconductors (RAM shortage + AI demand), space/defense (selling during SpaceX IPO hype), defense/drones/lasers ("Golden Shield" missile defense narrative), critical minerals/rare earths (US supply chain decoupling from China), and uranium/nuclear energy (policy + AI-driven electricity demand tailwinds). Holdings: ATS, RKLB, RDW, MP, UUU, XPEV, OUST, URA, and exposure to Latin America/emerging markets.

Another respondent: A comprehensive portfolio, holding GOOG, NVDA, TSLA, MSFT, AMZN, GLXY, ORCL, IBM, HON, VST, CEG, GEV, CRWV, FLY, PDD, and GGAL. Currently researching: SNAP, GRPN, Yelp, TRIP, ZETA, UPST, XPENG, and RIVAN.

One interviewee shared their thoughts on the topic of robots and the Fourth Industrial Revolution—humanoid robots represent a trillion-dollar opportunity that could address an 85 million-person labor shortage by 2030.

Another respondent: Israeli defense stocks, European defense stocks, semiconductors, robotics and automation, power grids, electrification, AI infrastructure, transportation, and metals mining.

One of the respondents: INTC, GOOGL, NEBIUS, Astera Labs, Oklo, RKLB, Moleculin, ASTS, LAC.

One respondent has not yet established a position but is observing: ATS, SATS, IDRM, RKLB, LMT, LHX, INTC, LASR, NAK, LODE, MP.

One interviewee: RBLX, SpaceX (not publicly traded), Anduril (not publicly traded), AI, Reddit, Uber, COIN, HOOD.

Notable viewpoints and memorable quotes

"Encryption complete" → Full warehouse robot/humanoid

"Cryptocurrency is no longer attractive" → Turn to stocks

"Big Tech → Metals Rotation" → Holding Gold and Silver Index

"Sandisk has increased tenfold since October. The stock market is slow, but it rises over 100 years."

"A narrative that allows for both holding and trading. Long-term investment in index/ETFs, with a portion used for swing trading."

"Strong rotation between sectors" → Holding positions in INTC, SNDK, Space, and Commodities

"Using stock codes mentioned in the Claude research group" → Uranium-related

AMZN — Anthropic's largest investor. INTC — US government holding shares + Trump strongly promotes it as the US version of TSMC.

This survey is far from scientifically rigorous—it's merely a snapshot of my private conversations with people I know. But I believe it reflects the directions that savvy traders/investors are currently rotating towards.
