Bill Gates filed to disclose he bought over $346 million in RSG shares this month. The Microsoft co-founder picked up roughly 1.6 million Republic Services shares between August 10 and August 19, paying around $215–$218 each. It is one of the largest single-company insider buying clusters filed this week.
On the selling side, Ronda Stryker filed disclosures showing she offloaded $117.8 million in SYK stock. The Independent Director — and granddaughter of Stryker Corporation's founder — sold 350,000 shares at roughly $335–$336 each. The trades took place on August 18 and 19. Her filing arrived August 20.
Fresh fintech IPO CHYM also drew attention. Venture capital firm DST Global filed multiple sell transactions totalling over $188 million in Chime Financial shares this week. The VC sold at $32.63 per share, just weeks after the company's public debut. This is a classic post-lockup-style disposal by an early backer cashing out.
AUR saw Index Ventures sell nearly $19.6 million in Aurora Innovation shares at $7 each, filed August 19. The autonomous trucking firm has faced ongoing losses.
The contrast is stark. Gates is piling into a steady waste-management compounder. Meanwhile, post-IPO sellers are booking profits fast.
