 Insiders Bet on AI: $5M in Upstart and $250K in Sofi Technologies Data from May 8, 2026. Two signals you can't ignore. Upstart Holdings (UPST) — Director Dave Girouard bought 170,240 shares at $29.37 for a total of $5 million. This is a +2% increase to his stake. Upstart is an AI lending platform that replaces FICO scoring with machine learning. When a director invests $5 million of his own money, it's not speculation. Sofi Technologies (SOFI) — CEO Anthony Noto bought 15,878 shares at $15.73 for $250K. A CEO purchase on the open market is a classic undervaluation signal. Sofi is a digital bank with an AI core, 10M+ users. Context: Both companies are pure AI/Fintech stories. Both trade below historical highs. Both received fresh investments from those who know the business inside out. What this means for investors: Insiders don't buy shares 'on a whim.' They see operational metrics that the market hasn't yet priced in. When CEOs and directors synchronously increase positions in AI companies, it's a topic for analysis. Data: OpenInsider, 08.05.2026.
