On February 17, 2026, Palantir Technologies — the $300+ billion AI-powered data analytics giant co-founded by billionaire Peter Thiel — officially announced it has relocated its corporate headquarters from Denver, Colorado, to the Miami area in Florida. The brief announcement came via a single X post: “We have moved our headquarters to Miami, Florida.” This move, confirmed in the company’s latest SEC annual report, marks Palantir’s second major headquarters shift in six years and joins a growing wave of tech firms choosing South Florida.
This in-depth guide, based on primary sources including SEC filings, CNBC, The Colorado Sun, Bloomberg, and Miami Herald reporting, breaks down the announcement, exact location, reasons, impacts, and what it means for investors, employees, and the tech industry.
Palantir Announces Headquarters Move from Denver to Miami
Palantir made the surprise announcement on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, without a full press release. The company simply updated its X profile location to Miami and filed updated corporate address details with the SEC the same day. This follows Palantir’s 2020 move from Palo Alto, California, to Denver.

What Palantir’s Move Means for Denver Employees and Jobs
Palantir had 500–600 people in Colorado. The company has not announced employee relocations — this appears to be primarily a legal headquarters address change, with most operations likely staying in place for now.
