Joshua Kushner's Thrive Capital Invests $215 Million in Amazon

Thrive Capital, led by Joshua Kushner, has bought roughly $215 million worth of shares in Amazon.com Inc., according to a regulatory filing made public on Friday. The move extends Thrive’s broader strategy of investing in public companies, not just venture-stage startups. While the filing signals increased exposure to Amazon as a large, established technology platform, the summary details provided do not specify whether Thrive increased its stake beyond the disclosed amount or what portion of the purchase is held directly versus through other structures. The transaction positions Thrive alongside other long-term investors betting on Amazon’s continued momentum.
