Recent filings reveal that billionaire Peter Thiel has liquidated his entire stake in AI giant Nvidia (NVDA.O). This decision comes as concerns mount about a potential tech bubble, fueled by soaring valuations linked to artificial intelligence.
Data shows that Thiel sold approximately 537,742 shares of Nvidia between July and September. As of September 30th, his fund, Thiel Macro, no longer held any shares in the company, according to the filed 13F form.
Based on foreign media estimates, using the average Nvidia share price during the third quarter, the value of these sold shares is estimated at nearly $100 million. The specific reasons behind Thiel's decision to sell his Nvidia stake remain undisclosed. Thiel is widely regarded as a prominent angel investor in Silicon Valley and a "venture capital godfather."
In addition, Thiel significantly reduced his holdings in Tesla (TSLA.O) from 272,613 shares to 65,000 shares. Conversely, he purchased 79,181 shares of Apple (AAPL.O) and 49,000 shares of Microsoft (MSFT.O).
13F filings also revealed that Thiel completely liquidated his entire 208,747 share stake in Vistra Energy Corp (VST), an energy generation company.
The disclosure of Thiel's reduced stake in Nvidia comes just one week after SoftBank announced the liquidation of its entire Nvidia holdings. Simultaneously, investor Michael Burry, known for predicting the 2008 financial crisis, revealed substantial short positions on Nvidia and Palantir (PLTR.O) stocks.
Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, had previously warned earlier this year that Nvidia's valuation was overextended, comparing the recent surge in tech stock valuations to the dot-com bubble burst of 1999-2000.
Thiel's exit from Nvidia coincides with growing market anxieties surrounding an AI-fueled bubble in tech company valuations. Investors are beginning to worry about how OpenAI will fulfill its spending commitments exceeding $1 trillion, and how this will impact Nvidia and other key suppliers of essential chips for OpenAI.
Nvidia's investment in OpenAI has also raised concerns about circular funding, while recent financial reports from several mega-cap tech companies have shown a rapid increase in capital expenditure by Wall Street giants in the field of artificial intelligence.
