This is a pre-planned 10b5-1 selling program, not a discretionary insider sale. The consistent 20,000-share blocks and multiple trust structures suggest tax or estate planning. No material signal for DDOG — monitor for any acceleration or deviation from the plan pattern. The stock is up ~3% in the past month (from ~$220 to ~$226), and the plan appears to be executing at market prices.
