On April 22, the Financial Link reported (editor: Shi Zhengcheng) that just as US stock investors were trapped in the "Trump bear market," the freshly released list of Company Executives' Shareholding in the first quarter sparked envy and attention among investors: had they waited another month or two, the amount of funds they could cash out would face huge discounts.

According to Washington Service, which specializes in researching insider stock sell-offs, $Meta Platforms (META.US)$ the company's founder and CEO Zuckerberg is the Company Executive with the largest Shareholding amount in US-listed companies for the first quarter of this year. Moreover, the timing is very good - all Trades occurred in January and February during the US regime change, when Trump's destructive power had not yet fully revealed.

Through a series of affiliated entities, Zuckerberg sold a total of 1.1 million shares of Meta Stocks, worth $0.733 billion in total.

Meta Stocks reached an all-time high of $740 on February 14 this year, and then gradually entered the rhythm of "Trump sell-off," "Trump recession," and "Trump bear market." As of the closing, the company's stock price had fallen to $484.66 in the latest round of decline on Monday.

Overall, the first quarter of this year also marked a critical turning point for US stocks from prosperity to decline. Due to Trump's erratic policies, in addition to triggering a significant drop in US stocks, overseas investors are now also more concerned about whether the dollar hegemony will perish in his hands.

According to statistics, compared to the first quarter of 2024, the overall amount of internal sell-offs by publicly listed companies has decreased this year. Last year, 4,702 insiders collectively sold $28.1 billion in Stocks, while this year there were 3,867 sellers who collectively sold $15.5 billion in Stocks. It is worth mentioning that in last year's figures, "the world's second richest" Bezos alone sold Stocks valued at $8.5 billion, whereas this year's distribution is more even.

As the "peak escape champion" of the first quarter of this year, Zuckerberg continuously sold Stocks during January and February, with all trade prices exceeding $600 per share. His wealth peaked at $259 billion on February 14, but has since fallen below $180 billion. Although he still ranks third globally, his lead over Buffett behind him is just around $15 billion.

Following Zuckerberg is Safra Catz, the CEO of the company, who cashed out $0.705 billion. $Oracle (ORCL.US)$ She typically exercises her stock Options and sells Stocks when they are about to expire. Her transactions were completed this January, and since then, Oracle's stock price has dropped over 30%.

The well-known "Wall Street brother" Jamie Dimon ranks 7th. On February 20 of this year, he sold Stocks worth over $0.233 billion. $JPMorgan (JPM.US)$ Two days before the trade, JPMorgan had just hit a historic high. It is noteworthy that he sold Stocks valued at $31.5 million last Monday (April 14).

The remaining names on the list mostly belong to Company Executives of publicly traded companies related to the "AI frenzy" in the USA stock market. Nick Arora, the president of cloud security company Palo Alto Networks, ranks third with a cashing out of $0.432 billion. Max Degroen, the Director of cloud computing company Nutanix, is fourth with $0.409 billion. Stephen Cohen, the president of the super AI stock Palantir, ranks sixth with $0.337 billion, and Eric Lefkofsky, co-founder and CEO of Tempus AI, is eighth with $0.231 billion.

In addition, $Netflix (NFLX.US)$ Ted Sarandos, co-founder and CEO of , exercised his options at the end of January and completed a cashout worth $0.195 billion. According to Statistics, the expiration dates of these Options range from 2026 to 2032, with a total exercise cost of $21 million. However, as a streaming stock temporarily immune to tariff shocks, Netflix's current stock price does not differ much from the end of January.
