Oracle CEO Safra Catz Leads Tech Insider Sales with $1.8B Stock Liquidation

Oracle Corporation CEO Safra Catz dominated Q2 2025 insider selling activity with $1.8 billion in stock option exercises, executed under a prearranged 10b5-1 trading plan. The transactions—part of a broader $2.5 billion annual divestment—leave Catz with 1.1 million retained shares and a $4 billion net worth per Bloomberg's Billionaires Index.

Tech executives Michael Dell and Jeff Bezos joined the sell-side trend, offloading $1.2 billion and $736.7 million in respective holdings. These moves reflect portfolio rebalancing rather than sector pessimism, coinciding with Dell's S&P 500 relisting and Amazon's continued AI infrastructure investments.

Insider activity mirrors institutional capital rotation into emerging asset classes, including cryptocurrency markets where Bitcoin and Ethereum remain preferred hedges against traditional equity volatility. No direct crypto correlation was observed in these transactions.
