How about "Zoom CEO sold 0.5% of his stock", which would be just as accurate but less compelling. He sold $24m, still has roughly 4 billion.



The best synthesis would be something like:

"Zoom CEO sells $24M from his $10B Zoom stake"

The current headline, "Zoom CEO sold all of his common shares", is technically correct but highly misleading – but's it's still interesting to see what a founder on a rocketship is doing to diversify a little, even in the particulars of the conversion/disclosure & how it's (mis-)interpreted by peanut galleries everywhere.
