Michael Burry disclosed a new round of portfolio moves in a portfolio changes on Substack, increasing bearish exposure to chip names while keeping select longs.

The portfolio update deepened shorts on Micron and Nvidia, and left his Tesla and Palantir positions intact, signalling a targeted bet against semiconductor valuations even as he keeps stakes in software and EV plays holds TSLA and PLTR bets.

Other reporting shows Burry has also positioned against chip-sector ETFs, including a short of the iShares semiconductor fund short the iShares Semiconductor ETF.

Burry and some commentators flagged broader froth in AI infrastructure finance, with questions raised about Nvidia’s reported $250 billion financing backstop for OpenAI data-centre buildouts as a sign of elevated risk.

Market-focused outlets and portfolio trackers separately noted his move as an escalation of a bearish theme he’s pursued all year, framing Micron’s recent rally and memory’s boom‑and‑bust history as the trade’s rationale increased Nvidia and Micron Shorts.

Burry’s disclosure arrives amid heavy sector debate about whether AI demand justifies current chip valuations, and his Substack post closes with no public timeline for trimming the new shorts.
