ElizaOS founder accuses daos.fun founder of profiting $6.6 million through insider trading with ai16z

ElizaOS founder Shaw accused daos.fun founder baoskee of insider trading during the renaming and migration process of the ai16z project, claiming that he profited approximately $6.6 million by selling ai16z. Shaw stated that in June 2025, the project team promised to launch Snapshot voting so that the community could decide whether to rename the project, after a16z had requested a name change to avoid trademark disputes.Shaw claimed that, despite the voting mechanism not being launched as promised, baoskee sold all ai16z in the daos.fun execution wallet after being aware of the pressure to rename and the subsequent migration arrangements, and continued to sell before the project migrated to elizaOS, causing the token price to drop. Shaw believes that baoskee had information that other holders did not possess at that time. In response, baoskee denied the allegations, stating that the Snapshot voting had actually been launched, and that daos.fun had also self-funded to increase and lock over $1 million in ai16z liquidity. He also countered that Shaw had serious issues regarding project operations, token migration, and the use of development funds. Currently, there are significant discrepancies between the two parties' statements, and Shaw indicated that he would attach relevant Solscan on-chain records at the end of the article.

Overview of SpaceX's institutional holdings: Alphabet holds $94.18 billion at the top, while Nvidia holds $20.98 billion

As SpaceX went public on June 12 on Nasdaq, the Q2 13F reports first focused on disclosing institutional holdings after its listing. According to third-party 13F platform Giantsight, as of June 30, approximately 1,697 reporting entities disclosed their positions in SpaceX, covering various types of funds including pre-listing investors, venture capital, asset management institutions, and pensions.SEC filings show that Alphabet, Google's parent company, reported holding 551 million shares of SpaceX (valued at $94.18 billion), making it the largest 13F reported position currently; Valor Management holds 503 million shares ($86.01 billion), FMR LLC holds 303 million shares ($51.66 billion), Gigafund Management holds 172 million shares ($29.36 billion), and the Saudi Public Investment Fund holds 154 million shares ($26.34 billion), while BAMCO under Baron holds 146 million shares ($24.91 billion).Other key reporting entities include Nvidia holding 123 million shares ($20.98 billion), Baillie Gifford holding 51.4 million shares ($8.78 billion), BlackRock holding 51.04 million common shares ($8.72 billion), Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan holding 50.68 million shares ($8.66 billion), and Harvard University's endowment holding 12.935 million shares ($2.21 billion).In terms of source of holdings, Alphabet and Gigafund are pre-listing investors in SpaceX; Nvidia's position in SpaceX comes from its prior investment in xAI. FMR, BAMCO, BlackRock, and Baillie Gifford mainly represent asset management funds. The aforementioned positions first appeared in the 13F and do not imply that the related institutions all purchased from the secondary market after SpaceX's listing.The amounts mentioned are the end-of-period reported values as of June 30. On that day, SpaceX closed at $170.86, and as of August 14, it closed at $140, a decline of approximately 18.1% from the end of the quarter. If the number of shares held has not changed, the current market value of the related common stock positions would correspondingly decrease. The 13F primarily reflects long positions in reportable securities at the end of the quarter and some held options, without disclosing short stock positions, option sell positions, specific purchase times, transaction costs, or trades after the end of the quarter.

Berkshire's first major portfolio adjustment revealed, spending $17 billion in the second quarter to bet on Google

Berkshire Hathaway submitted its 13F holdings report for the second quarter of 2026 to the U.S. SEC. The data shows that in the second quarter after Warren Buffett stepped down, the company's investment portfolio underwent significant adjustments, with a large purchase of Google’s parent company Alphabet, while reducing positions in the financial and consumer sectors.As of June 30, 2026, the total market value of Berkshire's stock holdings rose to $29.9 billion, up from $26.3 billion in the previous quarter. In the second quarter, the company added one new position, increased holdings in seven stocks, reduced holdings in six stocks, and completely sold out of one target, with the top ten holdings accounting for as much as 88.74%.Among them, Alphabet became the biggest highlight. In the second quarter, Berkshire cumulatively increased its holdings of Alphabet Class A and Class C shares by approximately 48.1 million shares, with the new holdings valued at over $17 billion, pushing Google to replace Bank of America as Berkshire's fourth-largest holding. Currently, its top five holdings are Apple, American Express, Coca-Cola, Alphabet, and Bank of America. In addition to Google, Berkshire also slightly increased its holdings in Delta Air Lines, Lennar, and Macy's. The increase in Delta Air Lines has attracted attention, as the market believes this move may reflect the company's optimism about the recovery of air travel demand and improvement in corporate operations.On the reduction side, Berkshire focused on cutting positions in the financial and consumer sectors in the second quarter. Among them, Bank of America saw a reduction of about 30.2 million shares, with the holding ratio decreasing by 5.89%, corresponding to a market value of about $1.72 billion, making it the largest reduction target; First Capital Financial reduced about 4.2 million shares, with the holding ratio decreasing by about 58%; at the same time, it reduced about 11 million shares of Kroger, with the holding size decreasing by about 22%.The market believes that Berkshire ended a streak of 14 consecutive quarters of net stock selling in the second quarter and net bought nearly $20 billion in stocks, indicating that the new leader Greg Abel is pushing the portfolio towards a technology growth direction, marking a shift in asset allocation in the "post-Buffett era."
