Jensen Huang begins phased sale of 600,000 Nvidia shares amid soaring AI-driven growth, while maintaining a dominant stake and reaffirming confidence in the company’s future.
As Nvidia rides AI-driven market dominance, Huang begins phased divestment of 600,000 shares while still holding over 800 million shares in the company.
Nvidia CEO and co-founder Jensen Huang has initiated the first phase of a pre-announced stock sale plan, selling 100,000 shares worth nearly $15 million, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The transactions took place last Friday and Monday and are part of a broader plan disclosed in March 2024, under which Huang intends to sell up to 600,000 Nvidia shares by the end of 2025—a total that could be valued at $873 million at current prices.
Despite the significant sale, Huang retains a massive stake in the company he founded. The 62-year-old executive still owns more than 800 million shares, according to the Monday filing. His net worth is estimated at around $126 billion, placing him 12th on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
This isn’t Huang’s first strategic sale. In 2023, he divested approximately $700 million in Nvidia shares under a similar prearranged plan, demonstrating a measured approach to liquidity while maintaining confidence in Nvidia’s long-term trajectory.
Nvidia’s explosive stock performance continues to attract global attention. Since December 2022, the company’s shares have surged more than 800%, following the public release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT—an AI milestone that highlighted Nvidia’s critical role in the development of artificial intelligence infrastructure.
Nvidia’s graphics processing units (GPUs) remain the backbone of the AI revolution, with the company dominating the AI chip market. It has since released two new generations of its AI GPU technology, further reinforcing its lead.
Even amid export restrictions and geopolitical concerns that may limit its reach in foreign markets, Nvidia’s financials remain strong. In May 2025, the company reported first-quarter revenue of $44 billion, marking a staggering 69% year-over-year growth. Its stock is up 9% year-to-date, reflecting investor confidence in its innovation and sustained market leadership.
Huang’s structured stock sale is seen by analysts as part of a prudent wealth and estate management strategy, rather than a signal of waning confidence. With demand for AI technologies expected to remain high, Nvidia continues to lead the way in reshaping everything from cloud computing to autonomous systems.
As the AI arms race accelerates, Huang’s legacy as one of the foremost architects of the modern tech landscape remains firmly intact—even as he strategically diversifies his financial portfolio.
