SoftBank's Vision Fund has significantly reduced its U.S. portfolio of publicly listed holdings, selling off or writing down approximately $29 billion in assets since the end of 2021. This strategic shift, led by Masayoshi Son, moves the fund's focus from traditional venture capital investments to sectors like artificial intelligence and semiconductors. The change has also resulted in a reduced staff, now primarily functioning as caretakers.
