Volkswagen overtakes Amazon as Rivian’s (RIVN) largest shareholder with 15.9% stake
Volkswagen now owns 209.8 million shares of Rivian (RIVN), representing a 15.9% stake in the EV startup, according to a new SEC filing. The German automaker has overtaken Amazon as Rivian’s single largest shareholder for the first time since the company’s 2021 IPO.
The stake increase came after Volkswagen’s US subsidiary purchased 62.9 million new shares on April 30 at $15.90 per share — a roughly $1 billion investment triggered by the joint venture hitting its latest testing milestone.
