Background & analysis
CoreWeave's three co-founders have sold company stock worth $3.3 billion since its IPO last year, with $2.4 billion of that total cashed out so far this year, according to a report from East Money Information dated October 16, 2026. The report said the founders moved to lock in gains through large-scale selling as credit risk kept climbing, investors grew more cautious about AI spending, and the share price swung sharply.
The report recalled that CoreWeave completed its IPO in March last year and that its stock surged afterward, climbing 359% from the offering price within just three months of listing. That run lifted chairman and CEO Michael Intrator, chief strategy officer Brian Venturo and chief development officer Brannin McBee into Bloomberg's list of the world's 500 richest people, with Intrator's personal net worth briefly reaching $11.8 billion.
As the stock fell more than 60% from its historic high, the three founders began selling heavily, the report said. Measured at CoreWeave's closing price on Thursday, the shares they have sold since the IPO are now worth nearly one-third less than the pre-tax proceeds they received. The report also noted that the three remain among CoreWeave's six largest shareholders, holding roughly 20% of the company between them.
