"Palantir announced Tuesday that it has moved its headquarters to Miami from Denver. The data analytics company, criticized for its role in the Trump administration's immigration crackdown, joins a host of other businesses and billionaires that recently moved to Florida in search of a more business-friendly climate. Palantir's move across state lines comes after its chair, Peter Thiel, announced on 31 December that he opened a Miami office for his private investment firm. Thiel already has a mansion in Miami Beach."
"The company, previously headquartered in Palo Alto, announced the move on X but did not provide further details or respond to a request for comment. Palantir's stay in Colorado lasted about six years; the company exited California in August 2020 with CEO Alex Karp citing disagreements with the state's values. Palantir's Denver office has frequently been the site of protest, as the company faces heated criticism for its involvement in the Trump administration's push to deport immigrants."
Palantir moved its corporate headquarters from Denver to Miami after about six years in Colorado. The company previously exited California in August 2020, with CEO Alex Karp citing disagreements with the state's values. Chair Peter Thiel opened a Miami office for his investment firm and owns a Miami Beach mansion. Palantir has faced protests and criticism over tools used by the federal government to surveil and detain immigrants and for involvement in the Trump administration's immigration enforcement. The company holds a major contract with the UK's National Health Service. Colorado activists credit sustained organizing and proposed AI surveillance limits for influencing the departure.
