Billionaire Peter Thiel has offloaded his entire stake in leading chipmaker Nvidia, according to recent regulatory filings, amid concerns over an artificial intelligence-fuelled bubble in technology stocks.

The 13F filings by Thiel Macro LLC show that the fund sold all the 537,742 Nvidia shares it held during the July-September quarter. This position accounted for 40% of the fund’s portfolio.

The fund also sold its entire stake — 208,747 shares — in US-based energy company Vista Corp, wiping another 19% off its portfolio.

The exits shrank the fund’s equity book to $74.4 million, from $212 million in the April-May quarter. EV maker Tesla now accounts for the largest chunk of the fund’s portfolio at nearly 39%.

Nvidia became the world’s first $5-trillion company in October. As of its last close, the counter is up around 36% for the trailing 12-month period and 37.5% in the year to date. This comes on the back of a 56% rise in sales to $46.7 billion, driven by data centre revenue increasing at the same pace to $41.1 billion.

The AI chip company expects to sustain revenue growth in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, with revenue projected at around $54 billion with a 2% tolerance range.
