Peter Thiel Dumps Entire ETHZilla Stake as Ether Craters 60%
Thiel's Founders Fund has fully exited ETHZilla after ether plunged 60% from its August 2025 peak.
Peter Thiel is out. Completely.
An SEC filing reveals the billionaire tech investor and his Founders Fund have sold off their entire position in ETHZilla Corp. The firm previously held a 7.5% stake as recently as August 2025.
The timing tells a rough story. Ether has nosedived 60% from its August 2025 peak, dragging crypto-adjacent companies down with it.
Thiel has long been one of tech's most prominent contrarian bets — from Facebook to Palantir to crypto. Walking away from ETHZilla entirely signals more than portfolio rebalancing. It's a full retreat from at least one corner of the crypto market.
The exit was disclosed through standard SEC channels, leaving no ambiguity about the fund's position: zero shares, zero exposure.
