CoreWeave's CEO sold nearly $1 billion of stock since IPO, filings show

The sales began about two months after the stock hit a record high in June 2025. The shares have tumbled since and were on track to lose about 24% this week as investors worried about the Nvidia-backed company's heavy capital spending and the debt needed to fund it amid rising bets on interest-rate hikes.

CoreWeave CEO Michael Intrator and entities linked to him have sold nearly $1 billion of stock, mostly under prearranged trading plans, since the AI cloud company 's IPO in March last year, according to regulatory filings.

CoreWeave did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

The sales totaled more than 10 million shares, according to the filings. As of Thursday's close, CoreWeave had a valuation of $38.44 billion.

The sales were made by Intrator and affiliated entities such as Omnadora Capital, where Intrator serves as managing member, and two trusts.

Most of these sales, excluding roughly $40 million, were made under prearranged trading plans that allow executives to sell shares on a preset schedule, and do not necessarily reflect management's view of the business.

The roughly $40 million that was not part of prearranged plans was sell-to-cover sales, where shares were sold on the market to pay taxes on vested stock.

The selling occurred as CoreWeave rapidly expanded its data-center footprint and increased spending on Nvidia chips to meet demand for AI computing, while building a revenue backlog of more than $129 billion.

In August, the company raised its annual capital expenditure forecast to be between $35 billion and $39 billion.
