Goldberg Chen, serving as the Executive Vice President of Product & Engineering at CoreWeave, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWV), executed a sale of 4 shares of the company's Class A Common Stock on June 30, 2026. The transaction resulted in a total value of $382, with each share priced at $95.69 at the time of sale.
The divestment was specifically structured to cover tax withholding obligations that arose from the vesting and settlement of restricted stock units (RSUs). In a concurrent move on the same date, Chen acquired 7 additional shares of Class A Common Stock, which were delivered upon the settlement of these restricted stock units. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of CoreWeave's Class A Common Stock once the settlement conditions are met.
Following these transactions, Mr. Chen's direct holdings stand at 59,371 shares of Class A Common Stock. His portfolio also includes 83 restricted stock units. The vesting schedule for these units is structured such that 1/4 of the total award vested on March 31, 2026, with subsequent vesting occurring in increments of 1/16 of the total award on the last calendar day of June, September, December, and March, contingent upon Mr. Chen's continued service to CoreWeave. These restricted stock units do not carry an expiration date; they either vest or are cancelled prior to the vesting date.
Since the transaction date, CoreWeave's stock has experienced a notable decline, dropping to $81.75 from the $95.69 price at which Mr. Chen sold his shares. This represents a decrease of roughly 15% over the past week. Over the past year, the stock has fallen by approximately 51%, according to data from InvestingPro, which tracks 16 additional key metrics and ProTips for CRWV.
