Despite the extensive selloff, Spotify's stock remains strong, trading at $501.50 per share, near its all-time high of $511.

Potential reasons for Ek's stock sales include:

• Personal investments, including a $31 million Spanish mansion
• Commitment to invest $1 billion in European startups by 2030
• Recent investments in companies like Helsing (AI defense, $469M Series C)
• Funding for Neko Health, his preventative healthcare company ($260M Series B)

Notably, Ek doesn't currently receive a salary as Spotify CEO, making these stock sales a primary source of liquid capital for his various ventures and personal investments.
