Nvidia Insiders Sell Over $1 Billion in Stock Amid Record AI-Driven Stock Surge

Nvidia’s top brass, including CEO Jensen Huang, have been making some serious moves—offloading more than $1 billion in company stock over the past year. The pace picked up last month, according to the Financial Times. What’s behind the rush? Well, Nvidia’s stock has been on a tear, hitting record highs as investors double down on the AI boom.

June 2025 was especially busy. Insiders sold off about $500 million worth of shares, taking advantage of a stock that’s surged more than 44% in just three months and jumped over 17% since January. The company even snatched back its crown as the world’s most valuable, leapfrogging Microsoft and Apple. Analysts are calling this surge the “Golden Wave”—all thanks to relentless AI momentum.

Jensen Huang, for his part, hadn’t sold any shares since the September 2024 filing shows. That changed with a pre-arranged trading plan he set up in March, letting him sell up to 6 million shares before the year’s out. If prices hold, that haul could top $900 million. Not that Huang’s hurting—his net worth sits around $138 billion, good enough for 11th place on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

There’s a bit of strategy here. Huang waited out a dip earlier in the year, choosing to sell only after the stock rebounded. That’s pretty standard for executives using preset trading plans—they’re designed to keep things above board and avoid any whiff of insider trading.

All this insider selling is happening as Nvidia rides a tidal wave of AI demand, even with geopolitical headaches and chip export restrictions in the mix. The company’s leadership isn’t just resting on AI, either—they’re already pointing to robotics as the next big thing, signaling Nvidia wants to stretch its tech lead even further.

So far, Nvidia hasn’t commented on the sales. But the message is clear: executives are threading the needle between managing their fortunes and riding the wild enthusiasm of one of tech’s hottest rallies in years.
