Recently filed Forms 13F show that two high-profile hedge fund managers sold shares of Nvidia during the second quarter while reallocating capital to the iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ: IBIT), an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC).

David Shaw at D.E. Shaw sold 12.1 million shares of Nvidia, trimming his position by 52%. Meanwhile, he bought 2.4 million shares of the iShares Bitcoin Trust, increasing his position by 1,658%.

Steven Cohen at Point72 Asset Management sold 409,042 shares of Nvidia, trimming his position by 16%. He bought 1.6 million shares of the iShares Bitcoin Trust, diversifying into cryptocurrency for the first time.

The trades made by Shaw and Cohen are noteworthy because both fund managers have credentials beyond their status as billionaires. D.E. Shaw and Point72 rank second and 13th, respectively, among the 20 best-performing hedge funds in history, according to LCH Investments.
