The SoftBank/SVF sales are massive and likely represent a strategic reduction by a major sponsor/insider, not routine diversification. Combined with the CTO and Director sales, this cluster signals a lack of confidence at the highest levels. Traders should monitor for any forthcoming 8-K or material adverse news.
