Peter Thiel's $419 Million Portfolio Focuses on Energy Infrastructure to Support AI Expansion
In the second quarter of 2026, Peter Thiel’s investment firm, Thiel Macro LLC, disclosed a $418.67 million equity portfolio across eight companies focused primarily on energy infrastructure rather than semiconductor manufacturers like Nvidia Corp. The investments target electric utilities and nuclear developers to support artificial intelligence expansion by addressing power supply needs for data centers and cloud computing operations. Thiel Macro allocated approximately $162 million into four major U.S. utility operators: American Electric Power Company Inc., DTE Energy Co., FirstEnergy Corp., and CMS Energy Corp. The firm also invested in Vistra Corp., a power supplier, and X-Energy Inc., a nuclear developer. Additionally, it made significant investments in Amazon.com Inc. due to its large-scale data center expansion reliant on long-term energy agreements. The portfolio includes $75.9 million allocated to Vista Energy S.A.B. de C.V., an Argentine shale oil producer, as part of the firm’s strategy for conventional energy exposure amid global crude supply disruptions and rising prices.
