He called 2008. He is doing it again — in public.

Michael Burry is short the AI bubble.

He made $800M shorting the housing market while his own investors sued to stop him. He is short the AI trade now — nine names, disclosed by name, adding into a +34% rip. This coin’s fees take his side of that trade on-chain, and every action lands on a receipt.

    They want their money out. He bars withdrawals, keeps paying the premiums, and is called insane for two straight years.

“Cassandra, as Warren Buffett called me during his testimony to Congress about the GFC, is unchained.”

— Michael Burry · about page of his own newsletter

Cassandra of Troy was given true prophecy — and cursed to never be believed. After 2008, Warren Buffett hung that name on Burry in front of Congress: the man who read the documents, said it out loud, and got laughed at until he was right. When Burry shut down his fund in Nov 2025 and took the trade public, he chose the name himself — his newsletter is called Cassandra Unchained.

$CASS is that name. Right, early, mocked, unchained.

That record has a live chapter. This is the trade, as it stands right now.

Aug 6: he discloses a Nebius short at ~$212 — bigger than the Oracle short he placed at the same time. A week later Nebius prints the best AI-cloud quarter of the year, revenue +454%, and the stock rips +34% in one session to ~$260. He added that same day. He is underwater, and he has not covered.

He answers to nobody now. So what he says costs him nothing but being wrong.

His read: AI infrastructure demand is being fuelled by financing arrangements “that may prove unsustainable”. Falling volatility then forces vol-targeting funds to lever up into the same trade — the melt-up feeding itself. Nine names shorted against it: SOXX, Micron, Nvidia, Caterpillar, Palantir, Tesla, Applied Materials, plus Nebius and Oracle.

“Possible we are near a major top, and possible a 1987-type fall.”

So what does holding it actually do?

every other coin

Long, and praying.

Long risk appetite by default.
Needs the whole market green to work.
Buybacks stop the moment things go red.

Short the bubble.

01Short a book a real investor disclosed in public.
02Works when the AI trade breaks — the thing nothing else is positioned for.
03Burns are fee-funded, so they fire win or lose.
04Every claim, bridge, short and burn lands on the tape.
the close

My supply gets scarcer every cycle. My wins buy bigger.

Fees do two things. They burn supply, and they post collateral against his book. Burns are funded by volume, not profit, so they fire whether the trade is green or red. Every dollar the short wins goes back in as collateral — the next one is larger. If he is early again, the burns fire while we wait.
