Tech’s Biggest Winners Cashed Out as Stocks Hit Records

[lingriiddd]

Tech executives quietly turned a historic market rally into real money in 2025, cashing out more than $16 billion as stocks surged, according to Bloomberg’s analysis of insider trading data. While public attention stayed focused on soaring share prices, insiders across Silicon Valley were steadily converting paper wealth into liquidity.

Most of the sales were executed through pre-arranged trading plans, meaning they were structured well in advance rather than timed to short-term market moves. Still, the scale of the selling highlights how executives capitalized on an AI-driven boom that pushed valuations to unprecedented levels.
