Peter Thiel's布局 on Ethereum treasury

SEC documents show that PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel and his investment team hold a 7.5% stake in ETHZilla (formerly 180 Life Sciences), a company focused on Ethereum treasury building, planning to use the raised funds for ETH purchases, yield assets, and iGaming operations.

After the announcement, ETHZilla's stock price closed up 11% on the day and soared about 57% in after-hours trading.

The Thiel team had already held over 9% of BitMine Immersion shares as of July 16, which is one of the largest holders of Ethereum corporate treasury in the world, with reserves valued at nearly $5 billion. In addition, 180 Life announced at the end of July its plan to privately raise about $425 million to fully transform into an Ethereum treasury reserve company.
