Brian Chesky, CEO and Chairman of Airbnb, Inc., has filed 85 transactions with the SEC, all involving the company’s stock under the ticker ABNB. The filings show no open-market purchases and no acquisitions of any kind. Instead, the record is entirely composed of sales, with a total sell value of $185,736,494.26. The most recent activity, dated August 28, 2026, includes three transactions coded as gifts (G) and conversions (C), each with a reported value of zero, indicating no cash proceeds. Prior to that, on August 7, 2026, Chesky executed 21 sales, with individual values ranging from $23,319.88 to $13,430,785.97. The largest single sale on that date was $13.4 million, followed by a $6.99 million sale and a $4.69 million sale, while the remaining transactions were smaller, clustered between roughly $23,000 and $554,000.
The pattern across these filings is uniformly one-sided: Chesky has not bought ABNB shares in any reported transaction, and the recent cluster of sales on August 7, 2026, represents the bulk of the dollar volume. The August 28 transactions, though coded as gifts and conversions, do not add to his cash proceeds but do affect his holdings. Over the entire filing history, the absence of any purchase code (P) or acquisition code (A) means that every transaction with a positive value is a sale. The data shows a consistent direction of selling, with no offsetting buys, and the recent activity on August 7 alone accounts for over $185 million in total sales, matching the cumulative figure for all 85 filings. This suggests that the August 7 sales are the most recent and significant tranche, with the subsequent zero-value transactions on August 28 representing non-cash movements of shares.
