# CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz Has Sold $702 Million in CRWD Stock Across 943 Transactions

> George Kurtz, co-founder and CEO of CrowdStrike, has filed 943 insider transactions totaling $702 million in CRWD sales — most recently in February 2026 at prices above $413 per share.

George Kurtz, co-founder and CEO of CrowdStrike (CRWD), has filed 943 insider transactions totaling $702 million in career stock sales. On February 4, 2026, he sold 8,552 shares across eight separate lots at prices between $413 and $421, generating approximately $3.5 million.

This is consistent with his longstanding pattern of regular, planned sales. With 2.05 million shares remaining (worth approximately $855 million at current prices), Kurtz maintains a position larger than his total career sales. What It Means Kurtz co-founded CrowdStrike in 2011 after serving as CTO of McAfee. He built CrowdStrike into the dominant endpoint security platform, growing it from a startup to a $100+ billion market cap company. His $702 million in sales represents a fraction of his total position — with 2 million shares still held, his remaining stake exceeds $850 million. CrowdStrike weathered its biggest crisis in July 2024 when a faulty content update caused a global IT outage affecting millions of Windows devices. The stock dropped sharply but has since recovered to all-time highs above $400. Kurtz’s continued systematic selling through the recovery — rather than pausing during the crisis — suggests these are pre-programmed 10b5-1 plan executions rather than discretionary sales. His zero lifetime purchases confirm his entire position originated from founder equity and compensation grants. What to Watch Whether Kurtz adjusts his selling cadence as CRWD trades near all-time highs above $400 CrowdStrike’s competitive position against Palo Alto Networks (PANW) and SentinelOne (S) in the endpoint security market Any lingering legal or customer fallout from the July 2024 global outage Kurtz’s remaining 2.05 million shares — at current selling rates, the position could sustain decades of systematic sales
