Tenev Completes HOOD Selling Spree
The latest transaction was carried out under Tenev's Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. The sale marks the latest major reduction in his direct exposure to Robinhood's Class A stock and concludes a period of significant selling in the shares.
According to Coin Bureau, Tenev sold $62.7 million worth of HOOD shares in September, based on regulatory filings. The September sales preceded the latest transaction and brought the total value of the reported selling activity to a substantial level.
Class A Holdings Fall to Zero
Following the sale of 375,000 Class A shares, Tenev markets no longer directly holds any Class A Robinhood shares. The change applies specifically to his direct Class A holdings and does not represent the elimination of his entire exposure to Robinhood.
Tenev continues to hold Class B exposure in the company. He also retains 6,907 Class A shares indirectly through his living trust, meaning his overall economic exposure to Robinhood has not fallen to zero.
The transactions were conducted under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, a predetermined arrangement that allows insiders to schedule stock sales in accordance with specified trading instructions. The reported filings provide the basis for the $42.6 million value of the latest sale and the $62.7 million in sales reported for September.
Coin Bureau identified the latest transaction as the financial conclusion of Tenev's reported selling spree, while his remaining Class B exposure and 6,907 indirectly held Class A shares leave him with continued ownership in Robinhood.
