George Soros restructured his U.S. stock portfolio in Q4 2025, moving heavily into AI chip stocks and crypto-linked equities while dumping software names ahead of a steep sector decline.
Soros Fund Management disclosed the moves via 13F filings, showing a total of around $137 million added across four semiconductor stocks during the quarter.
Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC) saw the largest increase, with 213,766 shares added and the position growing by 157%. TSMC manufactures chips for Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom and is the world’s largest chip foundry.

TSMC reported Q4 revenue of $33.73 billion, up 25.5% year-over-year, with diluted EPS climbing 35% to $3.14.
Nvidia received an additional 117,973 shares, a 21.5% increase, with the position valued at roughly $22 million as of February 18. Soros also opened fresh positions in both Broadcom and AMD during the same period.
Coinbase Buy Stands Out as Crypto Markets Fall
Soros opened a brand new position in Coinbase (COIN) during a quarter when crypto markets sold off. The trade gives the fund exposure to digital asset activity through a regulated, publicly traded company.
Microsoft was another big add, with 161,298 shares purchased — a 158% jump — after the stock fell more than 5% during the quarter. Apple and Tesla were also added to the portfolio.
Amazon held its place as the fund’s largest single holding, with the position nudged up by 6%.
Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta are collectively projected to spend more than $650 billion on AI infrastructure in 2025, fueling continued demand for the chips Soros was buying.
Software Holdings Cut Before 23% Sector Drop
Soros trimmed Alphabet by 2.9%, offloading 19,300 shares after the stock gained 31.7% during the quarter. Alphabet still ranks as the fund’s fourth-largest holding.
Snowflake was cut by 65%, Datadog was trimmed, and Intuit was exited entirely. The software sector ETF IGV has dropped 23% year-to-date in 2026, making the timing of these sales look well-placed.
In a separate but related development, Alphabet’s Chief Legal Officer John Kent Walker sold 47,574 GOOGL shares on February 17, 2026, collecting approximately $14.34 million and cutting his personal stake by 78%.
Shares were sold through the Arete Trust at prices ranging from $297.70 to $304.47. Walker made a comparable sale in December 2024, selling 17,829 shares at $314.89.
The sale followed Alphabet’s Q4 earnings beat on February 4, where EPS came in at $2.82 against a $2.59 estimate and revenue reached $113.83 billion, up 18% year-over-year.
GOOGL currently trades around $303.56, with a consensus analyst Buy rating and an average price target of $343.90.
