A lock-up agreement for restricted stock units held by Circle’s directors, executive officers, and major stockholders expires on February 11, 2026.
The expiration concludes a 181-day restricted period. This period began on August 14, 2025, following the company’s initial public offering.
The event potentially increases the supply of CRCL shares available on the open market. Investors are monitoring for large-scale insider selling that could create downward pressure on the stock price. Market reaction depends on the actual volume of shares sold versus those retained by insiders.
