CoreWeave Co-Founders Unload $3.3B in Stock Post-IPO as Shares Slide Over 60%

CoreWeave co-founders Michael Intrator, Brian Venturo, and Brannin McBee have sold $3.3B in company shares since the firm's March 2025 public debut, taking $2.4B off the table in 2026 alone. The heavy selling occurred as CoreWeave shares tumbled more than 60% from their June 2025 peak, during which the three founders also lost a collective $15B in paper wealth. Brannin McBee has liquidated $1.06B in stock, representing a 40.4% drawdown of his initial IPO equity holding, while Brian Venturo unloaded over $1.2B and Michael Intrator sold more than $907M in 2026. The insider liquidations coincided with rising credit risks reaching record highs after McBee publicly discussed tapping unlimited capital from insurance providers. Prior to the public listing, the trio had already cashed out $488M in company equity through secondary tender offers across 2023 and 2024. "Our co-founders remain three of the top six shareholders in CoreWeave, together owning approximately 20% of the company. They’re making personal financial planning decisions that any responsible founder with concentrated holdings would make. All sales are pre-scheduled, fully disclosed, and entirely standard." — CoreWeave Spokesperson
