Nvidia CEO Sells Shares Amid Surge in Stock Value
Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, sold 100,000 shares of the company over the last few trading days, as revealed in recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This move came on Friday and Monday, and the sales were valued at around $15 million, with the stock prices fluctuating between $142.50 and $145.63 during those sessions.
These transactions are part of a larger plan outlined by Huang and Nvidia, which permits him to sell up to 6 million shares by the end of 2025.
Despite Challenges, Nvidia’s Stock Continues to Rise
With ongoing issues in export controls, Nvidia’s stock has still managed to grow, particularly after a strong revenue report for the first quarter.
Huang’s stock sales were facilitated by a trading plan known as the 10B5-1 plan. This strategy is designed to help executives and major investors sell shares without causing market upheavals or unexpected reactions.

Nvidia’s recent growth can be greatly attributed to developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly as the company designs cutting-edge AI chips.
Nvidia Collaborates with the Trump Administration
Interestingly, Nvidia is also partnering with the Trump administration to develop next-generation supercomputers.
In a February interview, Huang mentioned that the pace of AI adoption has been “incredibly fast,” emphasizing that the company is focused on building technologies that support both core technology creators and end users of AI.
This year, Nvidia also announced plans to manufacture AI supercomputers in the U.S., utilizing advanced Blackwell chips sourced from Arizona and deploying AI systems in facilities across Texas.
Overall, Nvidia’s stock has seen an increase of more than 6.5% this year, with an impressive nearly 25% rise over the past twelve months. Over the last five years, the company’s stock price has surged by over 1,510%, riding the wave of growing AI technology adoption.
