According to this Bloomberg report Goldman Sachs is arranging a sale of five million shares for a shareholder. So this is not an effort by the company to raise funds.

The bank is offering the shares on behalf of an unknown shareholder at $53.60 to $53.80 each, a maximum 2.7% discount to Monday’s closing price.

Thanks Phoolio, I saw a later news update and it appears Credit Suisse is putting 5 million shares that it’s been holding up for sale. It’s not a Crowdstrike stock offering or any officers of the company selling anything.

I wouldn’t worry excessively about it. Crowdstrike’s volume yesterday when they rose 8.6% was 21.8 million shares. Credit Suisse probably could have sold their 5 million shares yesterday in pieces on the open market.
