George Soros made sweeping changes to his U.S. stock portfolio in Q4 2025, pouring money into AI chip stocks and opening a new position in Coinbase while cutting software holdings.

Soros Fund Management added roughly $137 million across four semiconductor companies during the quarter, according to 13F filings.

The fund raised its Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC) position by 157%, adding 213,766 shares. TSMC is the world’s largest chip foundry and a key manufacturer for Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom.

TSMC posted strong Q4 results with revenue of $33.73 billion, up 25.5% year-over-year. Diluted EPS rose 35% to $3.14.

Soros added 117,973 Nvidia shares, lifting that stake by 21.5%, worth around $22 million as of February 18. New positions were opened in both Broadcom and AMD.

Soros Buys Coinbase as Crypto Falls

Soros opened a new position in Coinbase (COIN) during a period when crypto markets fell sharply. The move gives the fund direct exposure to crypto market activity through a publicly listed stock.

He also added 161,298 Microsoft shares, a 158% increase, likely a dip buy after Microsoft dropped more than 5% in Q4. Apple and Tesla positions were also added during the quarter.

Amazon remained the fund’s largest holding, with the position growing 6%.

The four biggest US tech firms — Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta — are expected to spend over $650 billion combined on AI infrastructure in 2025.

Software Stocks Cut Before Sharp Decline

Soros trimmed his Alphabet stake by 2.9%, selling 19,300 shares after the stock rose 31.7% during the quarter, likely taking profits. Alphabet remains the fund’s fourth-largest holding.

The fund cut its Snowflake position by 65%, trimmed Datadog, and fully exited Intuit. The software sector ETF IGV has fallen 23% year-to-date in 2026.

Separately, Alphabet’s Chief Legal Officer John Kent Walker sold 47,574 GOOGL shares on February 17, 2026, for approximately $14.34 million, cutting his position by 78%.

The sale was made through the Arete Trust at prices between $297.70 and $304.47. Walker made a similar sale in December 2024.

The insider sale came after Alphabet beat Q4 earnings, reporting EPS of $2.82 against a $2.59 estimate. Revenue hit $113.83 billion, up 18% year-over-year.

Analysts hold a consensus Buy rating on GOOGL with an average price target of $343.90. The stock trades around $303.56 with a 52-week range of $142.66 to $350.15.
