Thiel’s Founders Fund now reflects a complete absence of ownership, down from a 7.5% holding in August of the previous year.
ETHZilla, a cryptocurrency investment firm located in Palm Beach, emulates Michael Saylor’s bitcoin accumulation strategy with Strategy (MSTR). ETHZilla began as a failed biotech company named 180 Life Sciences, before making a significant shift towards Ethereum (ETH) treasury, gathering over 100,000 ETH tokens at its peak.
However, the fund acted hastily as markets peaked in early October, executing $40 million in ether buybacks, followed by an additional $74.5 million in December to alleviate debt from convertible notes. As reported by Bloomberg, the firm is undergoing another significant transformation, launching ETHZilla Aerospace to provide investors with tokenized portions of leased jet engines.
