Michael Burry Deregisters Scion Asset Management, Clarifies $9.2 Million Palantir Put Outlay

The move ends routine 13F disclosures, reducing visibility into his trades.

Overview

  • SEC adviser records list Scion’s registration as terminated effective November 10, removing the fund from federal reporting requirements.
  • Scion’s Q3 13F showed large notional put positions, including about $912 million on Palantir and $187 million on Nvidia, which reflect underlying share value rather than cash spent.
  • Burry posted on X that he paid roughly $9.2 million in premiums for 50,000 Palantir put contracts struck at $50 expiring in 2027, disputing coverage that cited the $912 million notional as his wager.
  • With deregistration, Scion will no longer file public 13F updates, a step that could signal a shift toward managing private or family capital, according to industry reporting on SEC rules.
  • Scion reported about $155 million in regulatory assets as of March, and Burry has teased an announcement for November 25 while continuing to warn that AI-related accounting choices could understate future depreciation by roughly $176 billion.
