Thiel’s Macro Pivot: Dumps Nvidia, Tesla for Microsoft AI Bet
Peter Thiel's hedge fund executed a dramatic portfolio shift in Q3, liquidating its entire Nvidia position and slashing Tesla holdings by 76%. The Palantir co-founder redeployed capital into Microsoft, which now dominates 34% of Thiel Macro's assets. This reallocation comes as Microsoft demonstrates accelerating AI monetization, with Azure revenue surging 39% YoY to $46.7 billion.
Microsoft's stock performance remains stratospheric - up 483,000% since its 1986 IPO - yet Thiel appears convinced of further upside potential. The MOVE contrasts sharply with Nvidia's continued dominance in AI hardware, where it commands 80% market share in accelerators. Thiel's exit suggests a calculated bet on software-layer AI winners rather than chip manufacturers.
Among crypto assets, AI-related tokens like FET, AGIX, and OCEAN could see spillover interest from institutional moves into traditional tech AI plays. The reshuffling highlights how big money increasingly views AI as a binary bet: infrastructure providers versus platform owners.
