Peter Thiel Backed ETHZilla At $107 And Got Out Now At $3: What Went Wrong? - ETHZilla (NASDAQ:ETHZ)

  • Peter Thiel's Founders Fund fully exited ETHZilla by the end of last year, selling all shares after holding a 7.5% stake acquired in August 2025, SEC filings show.
  • Investor interest waned for token-only digital asset treasury firms, pressuring ETHZilla after it amassed over 100,000 ETH and panic-sold following October’s market peak.
  • August's $565 million capital raise launched ETHZilla's treasury strategy, then sold 24,291 ETH worth $74.5 million in December to pay down notes.
  • Management is pivoting ETHZilla toward tokenizing real-world assets and spinning off ETHZilla Aerospace, acquiring two CFM56-7B24 aircraft engines and 95 manufactured and modular home loans for $4.7 million, with future value driven by revenue and cash flow from real-world-asset tokenization.
  • The firm's trajectory echoed MicroStrategy's playbook but ended in a capitulation rather than continued accumulation, contrasting with sector leaders holding massive ETH reserves as ETHZilla's shares plummeted from $107 to $3.
