Has Palantir co-founder dumped all of his Amazon stock?

At the end of 2024, the billionaire investor Peter Thiel had a known stake in Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) worth around $42 million, according to the filings submitted by his hedge fund Thiel Macro LLC on February 14, 2025.

Fast forward to the end of Q3 2025, however, and the co-founder of Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR) no longer owns the 192,611 shares in the retail leader, as evidenced by the fund’s November 14 reports.

Amazon stock is sitting at $229.53 in the after-hours as of the time of writing, Thursday, November 27, at which price it is up 4.22% year-to-date (4.06% at the last close).

Interestingly, Thiel’s old stake in the company would now be worth around $44.2 million, approximately $2 million more than when the investor confirmedly owned it last.

Thiel dumps backs out of Nvidia and Tesla, bets on Microsoft and Apple

The Amazon sale is not the only noteworthy move Thiel pulled last quarter. Namely, he has also sold his entire position in Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), offloading 537,742 shares, worth over $100 million, in what was one of his most notable portfolio moves this year.

Previously representing 40% of the overall holdings, the chipmaker was the fund’s single largest position, which meant the full exit was a significant strategic shift. Indeed, the sale cut Thiel Macro’s U.S. equity exposure from $212 million to $74.4 million, reflecting a broader risk-reduction strategy.

Moreover, the fund also trimmed its Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) holdings by 76% while adding stakes in Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), signaling a rotation toward defensive mega-cap names.

The new Microsoft position is the most notable, considering the world’s largest enterprise software company has put its artificial intelligence (AI) operations into full gear. Notably, CEO Satya Nadella highlighted in the last earnings call that Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption is outpacing any previous Microsoft 365 launch, as 90% of Fortune 500 companies now use the AI assistant.
