Peter Thiel Exits ETHZilla Completely

Published by

Billionaire investor Peter Thiel and his firm Founders Fund have fully sold their stake in ETHZilla, reducing ownership from about 7.5 percent to zero by the end of 2025, according to SEC filings. The company had raised 425 million dollars to build an Ether treasury after rebranding from 180 Life Sciences, and Thiel’s backing once pushed shares above 174 dollars before they later fell sharply. Following market weakness and the sale of Ether to repay debt, ETHZilla shifted focus toward tokenized jet engine leases, while Thiel chose to step away completely.
