Peter Thiel Exits ETHZilla, Founders Fund Sells Entire Stake
SEC filings and crypto outlets report Founders Fund now holds zero shares after disclosing a 7.5% stake in 2025.
Peter Thiel-linked Founders Fund has sold its entire stake in ETHZilla, according to SEC filings and multiple media reports [2][3].
The filings show the entities tied to Founders Fund held zero ETHZilla shares at the end of 2025 after previously reporting a roughly 7.5% position, a move described by several crypto outlets as a full withdrawal from the Ethereum treasury-focused firm [3][1][6].
Market reaction included a roughly 3% drop in ETHZilla’s stock around the launch of a token, and commentators noted the exit amid wider signs of pressure on ether treasury vehicles [4][3][6][5].
Observers say the sale will be watched for signals about institutional sentiment toward Ethereum and ETH-focused treasury plays [1][3].
