Amazon Stock Hits Record $3 Trillion as Bezos Sells, Cathie Wood Buys, and Cramer Turns Bullish

• Amazon stock climbed nearly 5%, and the company’s market cap rose above $3 trillion for the first time
• Jeff Bezos disclosed plans to sell roughly $4 billion worth of Amazon shares under a prearranged trading plan
• Cathie Wood added Amazon shares to Ark Invest’s portfolio while Jim Cramer reiterated his bullish view on the stock

Amazon stock crossed a milestone that only a handful of companies have ever reached. But the record valuation was not the only reason investors were watching closely. As Amazon’s market cap topped $3 trillion, three well-known market figures made very different moves within hours of each other. Jeff Bezos disclosed another multibillion-dollar share sale, Cathie Wood increased her exposure, and Jim Cramer doubled down on his optimism.

Amazon Stock Rises as Bezos Trims His Stake

Amazon stock climbed about 4.6% on Monday, lifting the company’s valuation above the $3 trillion mark for the first time. The rally was part of gains that followed Amazon’s latest quarterly earnings. Revenue rose nearly 20% year over year while the company continued to benefit from growth in Amazon Web Services (AWS) and expanding investments in artificial intelligence.

The celebration came alongside a regulatory filing showing Jeff Bezos plans to sell roughly 15 million Amazon shares, valued at about $4 billion. The sale was disclosed through a Form 144 filing and is part of a prearranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. This mechanism is commonly used by corporate insiders to sell stock without causing concerns about trading on material nonpublic information.

Bezos remains Amazon’s largest individual shareholder even after the planned sale. This made the transaction more of a portfolio decision than a shift in confidence. Investors appeared to agree, with the Amazon stock continuing its upward move despite the filing.

Cathie Wood Adds Amazon Shares as Jim Cramer Stays Bullish

While Bezos was reducing his holdings, Ark Invest moved in the opposite direction. Cathie Wood’s flagship funds purchased roughly $20.5 million worth of Amazon shares. Through this, she revealed her long-term conviction in the company as AI spending accelerates across the technology sector.

Investor sentiment also received a boost from Mad Money’s Jim Cramer, where the CNBC host reiterated his bullish stance on Amazon. Cramer also weighed in on the latest news, posting on X that he “can’t begrudge Bezos for selling $4 billion shares… but what a buzzkill.” He noted that the announcement took some shine off Amazon’s milestone rally.

Despite Bezos’ planned sale, Amazon stock continued to climb. Cathie Wood was buying while Jim Cramer remained bullish. The market seemed far more interested in Amazon’s AI ambitions and strong earnings than in a scheduled insider sale.
