Jensen Huang starts selling Nvidia stock under US$865 million plan
Huang disposed of 100,000 shares over a two-day period of June 20 and June 23 for US$14.4 million, according to a filing on Monday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Huang's sales are part of a new 10b5-1 plan adopted in March and disclosed last month in Nvidia's quarterly report.
Huang is the world's 12th richest person with a US$126 billion fortune, which is almost entirely made up of Nvidia shares, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The CEO has sold more than US$1.9 billion in Nvidia stock, according to index calculations.
Nvidia didn't immediately respond to a request for comment outside of normal business hours on the sales.
Huang's pre-arranged trading plan, common among billionaires and executives who want to cash in some stock without spooking investors, gives him the option to sell 6 million shares by the end of the year. That amount would be valued at US$865 million at Monday's closing price of US$144.17.
Another filing on Monday shows Huang plans to sell another 50,000 shares imminently.
Billionaire Nvidia board director Mark Stevens has also been selling stock. He disposed of more than 600,000 shares for about US$88 million on June 18, according to a separate filing on Monday.
Earlier in June, the investor filed a proposal to dispose of up to 4 million shares of the chipmaker's stock and has so far offloaded more than 2 million. Unlike Huang and other board directors, Stevens doesn't sell under a 10b5-1 plan.
Stevens has a net worth of US$9.8 billion, according to Bloomberg's wealth index. BLOOMBERG

BitGo joins crypto IPO wave with confidential filing for US listing
Crypto custody startup BitGo said on Monday it has confidentially filed for a U.S. listing, joining a wave of companies looking to capitalize on strong market momentum. The crypto sector's climb to a $4 trillion market value has reignited public market interest, while clearer regulation, corporate treasury adoption and institutional inflows are driving a fresh wave of listings across crypto and fintech. "Many crypto companies have matured. After more than a decade, they've built stable client bases, some with SaaS-like margins and predictable cash flows," Kat Liu, vice President at IPOX told Reuters. Crypto custody firms store and protect digital assets on behalf of clients, a role that has become increasingly important as institutional interest in crypto rises. BitGo, founded in 2013 and one of the largest crypto custody firms in the U.S., is among the key players that offer secure storage, helping clients meet regulatory requirements, and safeguarding their assets against theft or loss. The Palo Alto, California-based company had raised $100 million at a $1.75 billion valuation in August 2023. CRYPTO IPO RUSH Bitcoin, the world's largest and best-known cryptocurrency, recently breached the $120,000 mark. It is up 26 per cent so far in 2025, while ether, the second-largest, has gained about 14 per cent. The sector's rapid ascent has opened the floodgates for IPO filings. Crypto-focused asset manager Grayscale and Gemini, the digital assets exchange founded by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, have also confidentially filed to go public in recent weeks. "The regulatory environment is becoming very supportive," Liu said, adding that the current administration appears more pro-crypto. Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump signed a law to create a regulatory regime for dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies called stablecoins, potentially allowing the digital assets to become an everyday way to make payments and move money. Stablecoin issuer Circle went public in June in a blowout market debut, while crypto exchange Bullish recently disclosed its IPO paperwork.

Trump Media buys US$2 billion in Bitcoin for crypto treasury plan
[NEW YORK] Trump Media & Technology Group, the firm behind Truth Social, has acquired about US$2 billion in Bitcoin and related securities as part of its previously announced plan to become a crypto treasury company. In addition, about US$300 million in capital was allocated to an options acquisition strategy for Bitcoin-related securities, the company said in a statement on Monday (Jul 21). Trump Media plans to continue acquiring Bitcoin and Bitcoin-related assets and to convert its options into Bitcoin, depending on market conditions. In May, Trump Media joined the scores of companies emulating the crypto treasury strategy pioneered by Michael Saylor's Strategy. It's not the only company linked to the US President Donald Trump's family that has jumped to the Bitcoin treasury play. PSQ Holdings, a firm that counts Donald Trump Jr as a board member, also announced plans to explore a digital asset treasury strategy. 'These assets help ensure our company's financial freedom, help protect us against discrimination by financial institutions, and will create synergies with the utility token we're planning to introduce across the Truth Social ecosphere,' said Devin Nunes, chief executive officer and president of Trump Media, in the press release. The Sarasota, Florida-based company said it will also use its Bitcoin and Bitcoin-related securities to generate revenue and potentially 'acquire additional crypto assets.' Shares of Trump Media jumped more then 7 per cent in pre-market trading following the announcement. The stock has slumped around 45 per cent so far this year. BLOOMBERG

Crypto firm BitGo confidentially files for US IPO
BitGo, a provider of trust and security services for digital assets, said on Monday it has confidentially filed for a U.S. listing, as crypto firms race to capitalize on renewed market momentum. Several high-profile companies, including those in riskier sectors like crypto and fintech, have launched successful listings in recent weeks, signaling pent-up demand and a rebound in capital markets activity. BitGo's announcement follows the crypto sector's market value hitting $4 trillion last week, driven by renewed optimism, regulatory clarity in key markets, and rising institutional inflows. The number of shares to be offered and the price range for the proposed initial public offering have not yet been determined, BitGo said.
