Insiders at artificial intelligence chipmaker Nvidia have sold more than $1 billion in company stock over the past year, according to a recent report by the Financial Times.

Approximately half of those sales occurred within the last month, coinciding with record highs in the broader market and Nvidia’s own share price.

The reported sales include transactions by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who sold roughly $15 million in shares recently as part of a previously announced plan to offload up to 6 million shares throughout 2025. That plan, filed with regulators in March, could ultimately amount to over $900 million in total share sales. Huang’s current net worth is estimated at around $138 billion, ranking him 11th on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

According to data cited by the Financial Times from analytics firm VerityData, the surge in Nvidia’s stock — which surpassed $150 per share — helped trigger some of the insider sales. Despite concerns around export restrictions on AI chips, Nvidia shares have risen more than 17% so far this year and over 44% in the past three months.

Last week, Nvidia stock rallied for five consecutive days and reached a new record high following its annual shareholder meeting and a series of insider transactions. At the meeting, Huang identified robotics as the company’s next major growth opportunity, following its strong presence in AI. The company also briefly regained its position as the world’s most valuable public company, ahead of Microsoft and Apple.

A spokesperson for Nvidia declined to comment on the stock sale report.
