Palantir’s Co-Founder Just Dumped His Entire Nvidia Stake. Should Investors Follow Suit? | The Motley Fool

Palantir (PLTR +1.43%) has been one of the best stocks in the AI race to own, and anyone associated with the company likely knows what it’s doing. However, one warning flag is that Palantir’s co-founder, Peter Thiel, dumped all of his Nvidia (NVDA +1.37%) stock during Q3 2025.

That’s obviously concerning for Nvidia investors, but should the chip-maker’s shareholders follow suit?

Let’s take a look at Nvidia’s stock. Did Thiel make a genius move, or is there something else going on here?

Peter Thiel is a legend in the tech space

Thiel has left his mark on many businesses. He co-founded Palantir and was also one of the earliest investors in Facebook (now Meta Platforms (META 0.35%)). Before Palantir, he also co-founded PayPal (PYPL +1.00%). His track record is incredible, and when he makes a move, it’s worth paying attention to.

Before selling off his Nvidia stake in Q2, Thiel owned around 537,000 shares. While it’s impossible to know when exactly Thiel sold it during Q2, Nvidia’s average price during Q2 was $174. If he sold at the average, that means he cleared over $93 million from the proceeds of the sale. That’s a huge chunk of change, but he wasn’t idle with his money, either.
