Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has sold another 225,000 shares of the chipmaker, totaling about $37 million, according to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing. The sale is part of a plan adopted in March for Huang to sell up to 6 million shares of the leading artificial intelligence company.
Huang began trading stock last month. His most recent sale, disclosed last Friday, totaled 225,000 shares, or about $36 million. Since he began selling stock this year, Huang has unloaded 1.2 million shares, totaling about $190 million, according to InsiderScore. In last year's prearranged plan, Huang cashed in more than $700 million.
The surge in demand for AI and the need for graphics processing units (GPUs) powering large language models have significantly increased Huang's net worth and propelled Nvidia past a $4 trillion market capitalization, making it the most valuable company. This surge in value has put Huang above Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett in net worth on Bloomberg's Billionaire Index.
In another significant win, Nvidia announced this week that it plans to soon restart sales of its H20 chips to China after the Trump administration indicated that it would approve export licenses. Earlier this year, the administration said Nvidia would need a license approval to ship the chips, designed specifically for China.
'The U.S. government has assured NVIDIA that licenses will be granted, and NVIDIA hopes to start deliveries soon,' the company said in a statement Tuesday. Huang said during a news conference on Wednesday in Beijing that he wants to sell chips more advanced than the H20 to China at some point.
Huang wasn't the only stakeholder to unload Nvidia shares. Board member Brooke Seawell sold $16 million worth of stock.
Nvidia's continued success in the AI sector and its strategic moves to expand its market presence, particularly in China, highlight the company's commitment to innovation and growth. The recent stock sales by Huang and other board members, while significant, are part of a larger plan to manage personal wealth and ensure the company's long-term stability.
