Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev sells 375,000 HOOD shares for $43.56 million

The July 6 sale was executed under a 10b5-1 plan adopted in September 2025, while Chief Legal Officer Daniel Gallagher and Robinhood Ventures Fund I also disclosed separate share sales.

Fact Check

The core facts are confirmed by the SEC Form 4 (summarized by StockTitan) and corroborated by investing.com and MarketBeat: 375,000 shares sold, ~$43.56 million total, Rule 10b5-1 plan adopted September 5, 2025, and 48,294,572 Class B shares held after the sale (48.3 million, worth over $5 billion at the ~$112-118 price). The only minor imprecision is that the sale occurred on July 6, 2026 across multiple same-day trades rather than 'beginning' on that date, and the claim omits the year, but no substantive figure is contradicted.

Summary

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev sold 375,000 Robinhood Markets shares on July 6 for about $43.6 million under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on Sept. 5, 2025, according to an SEC filing. The filing showed his Class B shares automatically converted into Class A common stock at the time of sale, with weighted average sale prices ranging from $112.2242 to $118.1385. Tenev still held more than 48.2 million Class B shares after the transaction. Separate filings showed Chief Legal Officer Daniel Gallagher sold 10,000 Class A shares on July 6 under a Rule 10b5-1 plan adopted on Aug. 8, 2025, and Robinhood Ventures Fund I sold 21,294 shares on July 6 and July 7. The insider sales arrived as HOOD traded near recent highs after a rally tied to Robinhood’s push into crypto infrastructure, tokenized stocks, prediction markets and private-market investing.
