MicroStrategy Insiders Sell $40M in Stock, Sales Outpace Buys 10:1

MicroStrategy Executives Sell $40 Million in Stock Over Recent Rally, Michael Saylor Retains Majority Stake

  • MicroStrategy insiders sold about $40 million in company stock over the past 90 days.
  • Insider sales outnumbered purchases by 10 to one, with over a dozen sales taking place above $400 per share.
  • Key executives, including the vice president, chief financial officer, and a director, led these transactions.
  • Most insider sales happened through scheduled stock programs or coincided with a recent price rally.
  • Founder and Executive Chairman Michael Saylor continues to hold significant shares and a large amount of Bitcoin.

Insiders at MicroStrategy have sold about $40 million in company stock during the last three months. These sales come from several executives, including the vice president, chief financial officer, and a director, many of whom sold shares when company stock prices reached higher than current levels.

According to data from InsiderScreener, MicroStrategy insiders executed more than one sale per business day over the 90-day period. These transactions totaled approximately $40.3 million in sales compared to only $2.3 million in purchases. Many of the sales occurred at prices above $400 per share.

Some sales were listed with a planned sale code on SEC Form 4, indicating these occurred under automatic share selling programs tied to compensation packages. Other sales were disclosed as outright sales, several of which matched a brief stock rally last month that kept MicroStrategy shares above $400.

Despite the recent transactions, overall insider selling forms a small portion of total executive and director holdings. For instance, Michael Saylor, founder and executive chairman, owns roughly 19.6 million shares of Class B stock and 382,000 Class A shares. This stake is worth several billion dollars. Bloomberg reports Saylor holds 8% of the company’s equity, and personally owns at least 17,732 bitcoins. Forbes estimates Saylor’s net worth at $8 billion.

Frequent insider stock sales are not unusual for public companies, as many executives sell shares received from pre-planned compensation schedules. Decisions to sell often relate to personal or family considerations rather than the company’s business outlook.

These insider activity patterns reflect routine behavior across publicly traded firms, according to filings and data available from regulatory sources.
