NVIDIA Love Call: AI Cloud Company Executives Sell Shares Worth Billions

CoreWeave, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWV) Chief Strategy Officer Brian Benturro converted 281,250 Class B common shares into Class A common shares through an entity he controls on January 21, 2026. He then sold about 278,250 of those Class A shares in the open market under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, raising approximately $25 million–$26 million (roughly KRW 330 billion).

Co-founder and Chief Development Officer Brannin McBee carried out a similar transaction on January 26, converting Class B shares held in several family trusts into Class A shares and selling a portion in stages. According to regulatory filings, he generated roughly $3.1 million–$3.2 million (around KRW 4 billion) in proceeds. Both executives still retain substantial indirect holdings through family trusts as well as shares registered in their spouses’ and children’s names.

On the same day, NVIDIA made an additional strategic investment in CoreWeave, purchasing Class A common shares at $87.20 per share for a total of about $2 billion (approximately KRW 2.7 trillion). The two companies also announced plans to expand their partnership with the goal of building AI “factories” totaling 5 GW of capacity by 2030.

Founded in New Jersey in 2017, CoreWeave is an AI-specialized cloud GPU infrastructure provider. Since its Nasdaq listing in 2025, the company has grown rapidly, securing major clients such as OpenAI and Meta. Leveraging a close relationship with NVIDIA, CoreWeave is regarded as a “new cloud” operator for its ability to deploy next-generation GPUs and CPUs early.
