Atlassian Co-Founders Mirror $11.9M January Sell Plan as Career TEAM Sales Hit $2.53B
Scott Farquhar and Mike Cannon-Brookes executed perfectly matched January 2026 sales in TEAM: 7,665 shares on each of the same six trading days, totaling ~$11.9M combined.
Two Atlassian co-founders just delivered one of the cleanest mirror-image insider patterns on record. In January 2026, Scott Farquhar and Mike Cannon-Brookes each sold exactly 7,665 shares of Atlassian (TEAM) on the same six trading days, for roughly $11.9M combined.
The pattern is not random noise. It is a textbook coordinated 10b5-1 cadence: same issuer, same dates, same share count, same remaining share balance after the final January sale.

Why this matters for TEAM holders
Coordinated insider selling does not automatically mean a bearish fundamental call; 10b5-1 plans are often pre-scheduled for diversification and tax planning. But when two co-founders execute a perfect mirror cadence, investors get unusually high visibility into supply timing.
For TEAM shareholders, the practical takeaway is cadence risk versus narrative risk: if this rhythm continues, the market may treat future sales as expected flow rather than surprise events.
What to watch
- Whether the 7,665-share cadence persists in upcoming Form 4 filings.
- Any amendments or new plan disclosures that change timing or lot size.
- Whether remaining balances continue to move in lockstep from the current 329,595 level.
- How TEAM price reacts around recurring insider-sale windows versus broader software sector moves.
