Insiders at the well-known California-based chip designer Nvidia (NVDA.O) have sold more than $1 billion worth of company stock in the last 12 months. This spike in sales has been especially apparent in recent weeks, as the Financial Times reported on June 29 that Nvidia’s stock price reached an all-time high due to growing investor interest in artificial intelligence (AI).
In June, when Nvidia’s stock value peaked, a sizable amount of these share sales—more than $500 million—took place. According to recent SEC filings, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang started selling shares for the first time since September. The company’s attempts to take advantage of the increased investor optimism surrounding AI technologies are reflected in this move.

On June 28, Nvidia’s stock hit a record high, making the company the most valuable in the world. This came after an analyst predicted that Nvidia would profit greatly from the so-called “Golden Wave” of AI advancements. The broad return of the “AI trade” on the American stock market, which has driven enormous gains in chip stocks and other tech companies linked to AI innovations, is highlighted by this spike in stock price.
These increases come after Nvidia’s stock has risen an astounding 60% since its April 4 low, when worries about President Trump’s worldwide tariff announcements shook the market. Investor expectations that the White House will negotiate trade agreements to allay some of these worries have propelled the recent spike, which has led to a recovery for U.S. stocks, including Nvidia.
Nvidia has refused to comment on the report, and Reuters has not yet been able to verify all the details, despite the insiders’ increased sales. However, Nvidia’s stock is expected to continue rising in the upcoming months due to the ongoing interest in AI technologies.
