Peter Thiel’s Recent Stock Moves Against Major Investors
Peter Thiel’s hedge fund has made significant investments in Microsoft and Apple, contrasting with sales made by Berkshire Hathaway and the Gates Foundation. This shift comes during the third quarter of 2023, when Thiel sold his entire position in Nvidia and reduced his stake in Tesla. Meanwhile, the Gates Foundation sold nearly two-thirds of its Microsoft shares, and Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway sold 15% of its remaining Apple stake.
Thiel’s investments reflect confidence in both companies, which are positioned well in the growing field of artificial intelligence. Microsoft has exclusive rights to service OpenAI’s cloud needs and holds a 27% equity stake in the firm, while Apple has experienced steady revenue growth across its products. Thiel’s stake in Palantir Technologies, co-founded post-PayPal, is valued at approximately $12.7 billion, underscoring his successful investment strategies.
