In a Q2 2026 13F filing, Thiel Macro LLC revealed a new $418.67 million equity portfolio after holding no U.S. equities in previous quarters. The investment strategy prioritizes power infrastructure over traditional tech stocks.
Why it matters
The firm is betting that electrical grid capacity will be the primary constraint on AI development, favoring energy utilities that can power the future of data centers. By avoiding semiconductor manufacturers, the portfolio signals a shift toward physical infrastructure.
The portfolio includes 495,000 Amazon shares worth 28% of total assets, alongside $162 million across four regulated utility companies. Vistra Corp makes up 14% of the assets, while Vista Energy accounts for $75.9 million.
