Thiel’s Energy Bet in Argentina | Business and Finance News

Peter Thiel’s hedge fund just poured $76 million into Argentina’s Vista Energy, their second-largest holding after Amazon — betting big on the country’s oil-rich Vaca Muerta shale. With daily output of 160K barrels and $6.5B invested, Vista is a heavyweight in Argentina’s energy sector. Thiel Macro, which had zero U.S. equity for two quarters, is now rebuilding its portfolio with 6 out of 7 new positions in energy and utilities — signaling a bold pivot. Thiel himself relocated to Buenos Aires, meeting key figures like President Milei, who’s aggressively courting foreign investment in oil and lithium. This move isn’t just a bet — it’s a strategic alignment with Argentina’s economic push. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
