Jeremy Allaire, Chairman and CEO of Circle Internet Group, Inc. (CRCL), sold roughly 68,000 shares of Class A common stock (directly and via related trusts) on September 8, 2026 under a 10b5-1 plan for proceeds of about $6.7 million, while retaining a very large Class B and Class A stake.

On September 8, 2026, Circle Internet Group, Inc. Chairman and CEO Jeremy Allaire executed a series of open-market sales of Class A common stock pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. In his direct account, he sold 56,200 shares in five tranches at weighted-average prices ranging from approximately $96.50 to $100.34 per share, for total proceeds of about $5.55 million, reducing his direct Class A holdings (including RSUs) to 333,760 shares. In addition, multiple small sales were executed from four irrevocable non-grantor trusts (Oak, Chestnut, Beech, and Spruce Trusts), each selling 1,516–1,518 shares per price bucket, totaling roughly 11,960 Class A shares at similar price ranges and generating approximately $1.17 million in aggregate proceeds; Allaire disclaims beneficial ownership of these trust-held shares except to the extent of any pecuniary interest. Following the transactions, he continues to hold significant influence through 15,659,098 shares of Class B common stock (convertible 1:1 into Class A) via an irrevocable grantor trust and 296,296 shares of Class A common stock via the Allaire 2025 Qualified Annuity Trust, alongside his direct and RSU-based Class A position. Using the approximate $98–$100 sale prices as a proxy, his direct and derivative Class A holdings are worth about $33 million, while his Class B stake is worth roughly $1.54 billion on an as-converted basis, leaving his overall economic and voting exposure to Circle Internet Group, Inc. still very substantial despite these plan-based sales.
