With Nvidia stock reaching record prices in the past week, founder, President, and CEO Jensen Huang’s trading plan executed more sales.

Huang’s plan sold 200,000 Nvidia shares from June 24 through 26 for a total of $30.5 million, an average price of $152.33 each. He now owns 75.5 million shares in a personal account, according to a form Huang filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. He also continues to own 783.4 million Nvidia shares through trusts, partnerships, and limited liability companies.

Insiders use so-called Rule 10b5 trading plans to remove the appearance of bias from the knowledge of nonpublic information. The plans automatically execute trades when preset parameters, such as price, volume, and timing, are met.

In response to a request to make Huang available for comment, Nvidia referred to an earlier emailed comment: “All of Jensen’s sales noted are based on 10b5-1 plans, in which the price, amount and dates of the sales are established in advance.”

Huang’s current trading plan has now sold 300,000 shares out of 6 million Nvidia shares through the end of 2025. A previous plan sold 6 million shares for $713 million in 2024.
