Overview
- Thiel Macro LLC reported selling all 537,742 Nvidia shares in the third quarter, with SEC 13F filings confirming the exit but not the intra‑quarter timing.
- SoftBank said it sold about 32.1 million Nvidia shares in October for roughly $5.83 billion to reallocate capital toward OpenAI, Ampere and large AI infrastructure projects.
- Nvidia’s results due Wednesday are flagged by market strategists as a potential volatility catalyst for semiconductors, cloud providers and broader AI infrastructure.
- Options market positioning cited in coverage points to a possible post‑earnings share move of around 7% and a market‑value swing that could reach hundreds of billions of dollars.
- Thiel’s fund retained positions in Apple, Tesla and Microsoft at the end of Q3, and the high‑profile sales have intensified debate about valuations and the risk of an AI bubble.
