OpenAI's Largest Internal Wealth Creation: 600 Individuals Cash Out $6.6 Billion Combined, 75 Take the Full $30 Million Cap

OpenAI conducted its largest-ever internal stock sale in October, allowing over 600 current and former employees to collectively cash out approximately $6.6 billion. About 75 individuals sold the maximum allowed amount of $30 million per person, a limit tripled from $10 million due to high investor demand. The tender offer was based on a $500 billion company valuation. President Greg Brockman confirmed in court that his OpenAI stake is worth around $30 billion. Employees collectively own about 26% of the company, with average paper wealth per employee around $1 billion, far exceeding pre-IPO norms at other major tech firms. Following a recent funding round at an $852 billion valuation and with monthly revenue reaching $2 billion, OpenAI is reportedly preparing for a potential trillion-dollar IPO in late 2026.

Brian Armstrong Praises Coinbase ‘Diamond Hands’ — But Sells $101M in COIN Himself

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong praised retail users for their "diamond hands," noting they increased Bitcoin and Ethereum holdings during recent market dips, with most maintaining or exceeding December 2025 balances. However, this contrasts with Armstrong selling over $550 million in COIN stock since April 2025 under a prearranged trading plan. The sales, while routine for executives, have sparked debate about leadership messaging during market volatility. Despite regulatory pressures and Bitcoin's drop below $60,000, retail investors showed resilience, while insider sales raised questions about alignment between executive actions and public encouragement of long-term holding.

Brian Armstrong’s Latest $101M Coinbase Sale Comes as COIN Hits Multi-Month Lows— What Does It Signal for Crypto?

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong sold $101 million in company stock on January 5, 2026, as COIN shares hit multi-month lows, trading around $153—down more than 60% from its 2025 peak near $420. This sale is part of a pattern of divestments by Armstrong, totaling approximately $550 million over the past year. The transaction raises questions about insider sentiment amid a deepening crypto bear market, with Bitcoin down about 45% from its late-2025 highs and the total crypto market cap falling from $4.3 trillion to around $2.3 trillion. Analysts warn Bitcoin could drop further, potentially to $50,000 or lower, amid negative on-chain signals, ETF outflows, and weak liquidity. While Armstrong’s sales may be part of a pre-planned trading strategy, the timing fuels concerns over leadership confidence and near-term market direction.

Insider Trading Case Against Coinbase Leadership Surges Ahead

A Delaware judge has allowed a shareholder lawsuit against Coinbase executives, including CEO Brian Armstrong and board member Marc Andreessen, to proceed. The suit alleges they engaged in insider trading by selling nearly $3 billion in stock around the company's 2021 direct listing, avoiding over $1 billion in losses by acting on non-public information. The court's decision to deny a motion to dismiss focused on concerns about the independence of a special litigation committee that had previously cleared the directors. The case will now move forward to discovery, as the court questions the committee's potential biases and the legitimacy of the internal review process.

Strategy Goes Cash With Latest Raise, No Bitcoin Buys For Now

Strategy, the business intelligence firm founded by Michael Saylor, has raised approximately $747.8 million through the sale of 4.5 million shares of Class A common stock. Notably, the company did not purchase any Bitcoin during the week of December 15-21, leaving its holdings unchanged at 671,268 BTC. This marks a shift in capital allocation, prioritizing cash accumulation over Bitcoin buys. The firm's cash reserve has grown to about $2.19 billion, which is intended to cover dividend payments on preferred stock and interest on debt. This move comes amid market speculation that Strategy might face pressure to meet its financial obligations and could potentially sell a portion of its Bitcoin holdings in a prolonged bear market.

Strategy boosts USD reserve with $748M stock sale, skips Bitcoin purchases

Strategy raised $747.8 million through the sale of 4.535 million shares of its Class A common stock and added the proceeds to its USD reserves, which now total $2.19 billion. The company has paused its Bitcoin purchases as part of a rebalancing strategy amid the crypto market downturn. It currently holds 671,268 BTC, acquired at an average price of $74,972 per Bitcoin. Strategy established the dollar reserve earlier in December to cover at least 12 months of preferred stock dividends and debt interest, with plans to eventually extend coverage to 24 months. Other companies that adopted Bitcoin treasury strategies, such as Metaplanet and MARA Holdings, have also seen significant stock declines in 2025. Bitcoin was trading around $89,433 at the time of writing.
