Billionaire investor George Soros made a series of large portfolio moves in Q4 2025, shifting money into AI semiconductors and crypto-linked stocks while pulling back from software names.
Soros Fund Management added roughly $137 million across four chip companies: Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC), Nvidia, Broadcom, and AMD.
NVIDIA Corporation, NVDA
The fund raised its TSMC position by 157%, adding 213,766 shares. TSMC reported Q4 revenue of $33.73 billion, up 25.5% year-over-year, with EPS rising 35% to $3.14.
Soros added 117,973 Nvidia shares, lifting that stake by 21.5%, valued at around $22 million as of February 18. New positions were opened in Broadcom and AMD.
The semiconductor ETF SOXX is up more than 60% over the past 12 months. The four biggest US tech companies — Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta — are expected to spend over $650 billion on AI in 2025.
Soros also added 161,298 Microsoft shares, a 158% increase, and bought 66,503 Apple shares. Amazon remained the fund’s largest holding, with a 6% increase.
He opened a new position in Coinbase (COIN) during a period when crypto markets dropped sharply. This move signals direct exposure to crypto market activity through a publicly traded stock.
Soros Cuts Software Exposure
On the sell side, Soros trimmed his Alphabet stake by 2.9%, selling 19,300 shares after the stock rose 31.7% during the quarter. He cut Snowflake by 65%, trimmed Datadog, and fully exited Intuit.
The software sector ETF IGV is down 23% year-to-date in 2026, making these exits look well-timed.
Alphabet Insider Sells $14M in GOOGL Stock
Separately, Alphabet’s President of Global Affairs and Chief Legal Officer, John Kent Walker, sold 47,574 shares of GOOGL on February 17, 2026, for approximately $14.34 million.
The shares were sold through the Arete Trust at prices between $297.70 and $304.47. Walker’s total position dropped by 78.25%. He still directly holds 23,939 shares.
Walker made a similar sale in December 2024, selling 17,829 shares at an average of $314.89.
The sale came after Alphabet posted strong Q4 results on February 4. The company reported EPS of $2.82, beating the $2.59 estimate. Revenue hit $113.83 billion, up 18% year-over-year.
Analysts have a consensus “Buy” rating on GOOGL with an average price target of $343.90. GOOGL trades around $303.56, with a 52-week range of $142.66 to $350.15.
Alphabet’s Gemini AI model recently scored 77.1% on the ARC-AGI-2 benchmark. The company also launched new AI partnerships with Sea Ltd and Apple.
