Palantir CEO Alex Karp buys 37,000 acres of forest in Sweden, with the purchase coming to about $22 million. According to multiple outlets, the acquisition is made through a newly registered company, Cladonia Skog AB, which is owned by Karp.
Local hunters and residents find out about the deal after leases allowing them to hunt on the property are canceled. The cancellations prompt attention from people who previously relied on access arrangements for hunting rights. Outlets describe the change as coming abruptly once the agreement is finalized.
In terms of context, the reporting focuses on what the company plans to do with the land and how the transfer affects existing agreements. Cladonia Skog AB states it intends to use the forest for “forestry and other related activities.” Both sources emphasize the sequence—quiet purchase first, then lease cancellations—while describing the same parties and the same land size.
