- Nvidia insiders sold over $1 billion in shares this year, with more than $500 million sold in June alone as the company briefly regained the title of world’s most valuable.
- The sell-off may signal confidence in current valuations—but also raises caution about vulnerabilities to market shifts or rising competition.
What happened: Nvidia insiders dump more than $1 billion in stock
Nvidia executives and board members have sold more than $1 billion worth of shares over the past year, according to the Financial Times and Reuters. Over $500 million of that was offloaded in June alone, coinciding with Nvidia’s stock reaching record highs and briefly becoming the world’s most valuable company. This month saw CEO Jensen Huang initiate stock sales under a pre-arranged trading plan, his first since September, with potential to sell up to 6 million shares—earning around $900 million by year-end. Other insiders—such as board members Mark Stevens, Tench Coxe, Brooke Seawell, and executive Jay Puri—also sold significant holdings.

Why it’s important
The insider selling reflects confidence in Nvidia’s strength but also introduces questions about its near-term valuation. With the stock surging over 60% since April lows on renewed AI demand and easing trade tensions, insiders may be cashing in on peak pricing. However, if chip demand cools or competition intensifies, the market could react sharply. Observers will be watching Nvidia’s performance under the anticipated “Golden Wave” of GenAI growth to gauge whether these sales were well timed.
