Baupost's Seth Klarman dumped several stocks in the fourth quarter, while trimming some of his biggest holdings, including Google and YouTube owner Alphabet , according to a new regulatory filing.
The hedge fund manager, who oversees almost $30 billion in assets , exited his stake in Coinbase , which was worth more than $70 million in the third quarter of 2023.
After soaring 130% in the fourth quarter, Coinbase has retreated nearly 20% in the first quarter of 2024.
Among Baupost's top holdings, the hedge fund cut its stakes in Alphabet , Fidelity National Information Services and Just Eat Takeaway.
During his last CNBC appearance in mid-2023, Klarman warned of an "everything bubble," sounding the alarm on cryptocurrencies, SPACs and a host of other speculative trends.
