While this position represents a modest portion of the overall portfolio by value, it stands out as a deliberate move into the tech sector. 

More impactful in terms of portfolio weight, and in-line with Paulson's typical strategy, was a large increase in holdings of gold miner Perpetua Resources Corp. (NASDAQ:PPTA). 

Paulson's fund added over 7.5 million shares during the second quarter, bringing the total value of its stake up to nearly $92 million. The increased commitment reflects the firm's strong confidence in Perpetua's future prospects. 

Paulson & Co. also increased its position in Bausch Health Companies, Inc. (NYSE:BHC) and decreased its exposure to Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:MDGL) in the second quarter.
