Introduction: This is a snapshot of stock allocations from inside the crypto circle—The author privately messaged 120 KOLs, 55 provided detailed holdings. The results show that the rotation from crypto to stocks is accelerating, with AI, metals, and energy as consensus overweight sectors. Humanoid robots are shifting from “watchlist” to actual positions.

Over the past few weeks, I conducted a private survey of all the KOLs I know, covering all my group chats.

Contacted about 120 people, 55 provided detailed responses.

The survey was conducted from mid-January to early February—some positions may be outdated, please consider accordingly.

Below are the survey results:

Core Holdings of Personal Focus

  • Humanoid robots are the biggest opportunity in the next decade—comparable to early Bitcoin investments
  • Memory shortages + AI supercycle + geopolitical supply chain → the most diversified multi-sector theme among this group
  • Pure memory shortage bet, confident over 2 years (from stock hedge funds)
  • INTC + AMZN, from US government/policy perspective
  • Big Tech → macro rotation into metals
  • Sandisk as a long-term stock holding

Overall Perspective

Among the 55 respondents actively involved in stock markets:

  • 50 are currently trading stocks
  • 5 are stock beginners (just starting out)
  • Many others are “waiting” or still observing

“Using Claude to research stocks mentioned in the chat” → uranium-related

  • Space and defense are gaining actual allocations, not just on the watchlist
  • IBKR is the preferred broker for crypto natives entering stocks
  • @Citrini7 is the most followed stock KOL among crypto traders
  • Rare earths and uranium are popular contrarian/macro bets

This survey is far from scientific rigor—just a snapshot of private messages with people I know. But I believe it reflects the current rotation of smart traders/investors toward these sectors.
