"% of total stake" is the shares in this event against all the vested shares the person held that day, across every share class and holding entity, after that day's vesting. "n/a" means the person's holdings don't reconcile, or the row is a purchase. "Holdings record incomplete" means more shares were sold than the filings show the person held that day, so a percentage would be wrong.

What stands out

Kenneth Chenault sold 44% of vested holdings: 17K shares for $2.7M, all under a disclosed plan.Largest sale, Aug 7, 2026
Selling picked up in the last 90 days: officers and directors sold 3.88M shares, against an average of 1.43M per 90 days earlier in the period. Most of it was Joseph Gebbia (2.59M shares in the last 90 days, 6.8% of holdings) and Nathan Blecharczyk (1.05M shares in the last 90 days, 2.2% of holdings); 100% of these sales were under disclosed plans.Joseph Gebbia: largest recent sale, Jul 28, 2026 · Nathan Blecharczyk: largest recent sale, Aug 7, 2026
Two officers sold shares but ended with larger stakes, because more shares came in than were sold: Elinor Mertz (sold 70K, 16% of starting holdings; 96K added) and David Bernstein (sold 6.7K, 16% of starting holdings; 16K added).Elinor Mertz: largest sale, Oct 24, 2025 · David Bernstein: largest sale, Sep 1, 2026

Percentages cover 11 of 12 officers and directors. Left out: Brian Chesky (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled). Disclosed company stock is not an insider's whole wealth.

Common questions

Is the Airbnb CEO selling stock?

Yes. Brian Chesky sold 1.32M shares ($186M) in the past 12 months, all of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are Airbnb insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 100% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any Airbnb insiders buying?

No. Officers and directors reported no purchases in the past 12 months.

How much of their stake did Airbnb insiders sell?

About 8.0% overall. As a group they still hold 88% of their starting shares. These figures leave out Brian Chesky, the largest holder (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled). That covers the 12 months to Oct 8, 2026 and counts vested shares reported on SEC Forms 3, 4 and 5, which is not an insider's whole wealth.

11 of 12 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (10 exactly, 1 with a minor or footnoted difference). For 1 we show sales but not holdings; the ! icon on that row explains why. Percentages cover 11 of 12 officers and directors. Left out: Brian Chesky (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

Open-market sales (Form 4 code S) by people who were officers or directors, in split-adjusted shares. Earlier years include people who have since left. A sale that an outside holder also reports (a family trust, a fund) is counted with outside holders in every year. Shares, not dollars, are compared, so a change in the stock price doesn't look like a change in selling. Years the filings don't fully cover are shown but left out of the average.

Known gaps and uncertainty1 insider whose holdings couldn't be fully reconciled

Sources and methodology844 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 844 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for Airbnb (SEC CIK 1559720) from Dec 9, 2020 to Sep 30, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 8, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages.

Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.

Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
