On February 11, 2026, a 181-day lock-up on Circle’s shares expired, allowing insiders to sell their stock.

On February 11, 2026, a lock-up agreement for approximately 208.98 million Class A and B common shares of Circle Internet Group, Inc. expired. The 181-day restriction, which began August 14, 2025, prevented directors, executives, selling stockholders, and major shareholders from selling or transferring shares or convertible securities. The lock-up ended on the earlier of the second trading day after the company announced earnings for the quarter ending September 30, 2025, or 180 days after the IPO prospectus date. The agreement, designed to prevent market disruption, now allows restricted shares to be traded.
