Insiders at Nvidia have sold more than $1 billion worth of stock over the past 12 months, according to a Financial Times report, as the company’s share price continues its rapid ascent.
Around half of these sales—about $500 million—took place in the last month alone, coinciding with a 17% rise in Nvidia’s stock since the beginning of 2025 and a 44% gain over the last three months.
The company’s valuation recently surged past both Microsoft and Apple, making it the world’s most valuable company.
Huang’s prearranged sale plan moves into high gear
The biggest contributor to the recent wave of insider selling has been Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
Securities filings show that Huang has been executing a plan announced in March to offload up to 6 million shares by the end of the year.
As of the latest filing, he has already sold about $15 million worth of shares under this arrangement.
Last year, Huang sold over $700 million in shares under a similar structured plan.
His total share sale plans for 2025 could reach approximately $900 million, making this one of the largest insider sale programmes in recent US corporate history.
Huang’s net worth stands at around $138 billion, placing him 11th on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
The timing of these sales aligns with a sharp rally in Nvidia’s stock, which surged past the $150 threshold—a level flagged by VerityData, a financial analytics firm cited by the Financial Times, as a trigger for increased insider activity.
Nvidia regains crown as world’s most valuable firm
Despite ongoing global uncertainties and regulatory scrutiny over the export of AI chips to China and other countries, Nvidia’s shares have continued to rise.
The company’s five-day winning streak last week pushed its market capitalisation to fresh record highs, helping it surpass Microsoft and Apple to become the most valuable publicly listed company in the world.
The rally followed Nvidia’s annual shareholder meeting, during which Huang outlined the company’s long-term strategy.
He noted that while AI remains Nvidia’s core growth engine, robotics is emerging as the next major frontier.
The market responded positively, with investors focusing on Nvidia’s expanding influence across multiple technology verticals.
The company’s performance has been underpinned by global demand for high-performance chips needed to train and deploy artificial intelligence models.
As tech giants race to secure GPU supplies, Nvidia has become a central player in powering both data centres and generative AI models.
Insiders capitalise on strong market conditions
While Nvidia’s upward momentum has been a key driver of investor confidence, the scale of insider selling is drawing attention.
The $500 million sold in the past month alone is a clear sign that executives are taking advantage of the stock’s premium pricing.
Such sales are not necessarily a sign of concern, as many are executed through prearranged plans that comply with SEC regulations.
However, the pace and volume of selling have led some market observers to flag potential implications for short-term investor sentiment.
So far, the market has taken these sales in stride. Nvidia’s trading volume remains strong, and analysts continue to revise their price targets upward.
The company’s role at the centre of the AI revolution appears to be outweighing any caution triggered by insider moves.
