March 2025 144 Market Report
Aggregate 144 Market Volume
In March, the total reported value of Form 144s increased 25% from February, in conjunction with a 43% and 135% rise in the value and number of shares for discretionary filings, respectively. This contrasts with last year, which instead saw a monthover-month decrease in the overall value of the 144 market. Additionally, there was a marginal decrease in the value of 10b5-1 filings compared to the prior month. When comparing March 2025 to March 2024, there was a fall in Form 144 activity across the board: total value (-30%), number of shares (-22%), and filings (-22%). This indicates a trend reversal from the past two years when these metrics have seen a year-over-year rise, as the market reached new heights; this decrease may show hesitancy from insiders as various policies, such as tariffs, are announced by the new administration in Washington.
