Jeff Bezos to Sell $4.75 Billion in Amazon Stock to Fund Blue Origin

Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, plans to sell up to $4.75 billion in Amazon stock, about 25 million shares, over the next year to support his space venture, Blue Origin. Despite the sale, Bezos retains a substantial 9% stake in Amazon, ensuring his influence as the company navigates economic challenges.

Bezos initiated a trading plan in March 2025, set to run through May 2026, under SEC Rule 10b5-1, which allows insiders to sell shares at predetermined times to avoid insider trading concerns. The proceeds will primarily fund Blue Origin, which requires over $2 billion annually. This follows Bezos’ earlier sales of 50 million shares for $8.5 billion in February 2024 and 25 million for $5 billion in July 2024.

His recent move to Miami, a state with no capital gains tax, optimises the financial efficiency of these transactions. Bezos still holds over 926 million Amazon shares, reinforcing his significant stake.
