Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is set to sell 25 million shares of AMZN stock worth approximately $4.8 billion over the next two years, according to a regulatory filing. The divestment follows a previous $13.4 billion sale executed under the same 10b5-1 trading plan, which concludes in May 2026.

Post-sale, Bezos’ ownership stake in the e-commerce giant will dip below 9%, though he retains over $170 billion in Amazon equity. The company’s shares closed at $190 on Friday, reflecting a nearly 14% decline year-to-date.

While the filing indicates structured selling, market observers will monitor for potential secondary effects on tech sector sentiment. The transaction represents one of the largest scheduled insider liquidations in recent market history.
