Ellison Pledges More Oracle Stock as Collateral

Oracle (ORCL) founder Larry Ellison has significantly increased the amount of Oracle Corp. (ORCL) stock pledged as collateral for his personal loans. A recent proxy filing from Oracle shows that he has pledged 67 million more shares than he had at the same point a year earlier.

The filing highlights the scale of Ellison’s use of Oracle equity to secure personal borrowing. While the document quantifies the increase in pledged shares, it does not specify the size of the underlying loans or identify the lenders involved.

The additional 67 million Oracle shares represent a 19% increase in the number of shares Ellison had pledged in 2025. This underlines a notable year‑on‑year rise in the collateral tied to his personal financing arrangements.

Using Oracle’s closing share price of $137.10, the newly pledged portion alone is valued at about $9.2 billion. The valuation figure provides a sense of the financial magnitude of Ellison’s latest pledging activity without indicating any change in his overall ownership stake.

Information about Ellison’s increased pledges was included in an Oracle proxy filing released on a Friday. Proxy statements are a primary channel through which companies report executives’ share pledging and related governance details to shareholders.

The filing focuses on the number of shares pledged and the year‑over‑year change, rather than on the structure of Ellison’s personal borrowing. No additional terms, such as interest rates, durations, or specific collateral conditions, are described in the disclosed material.
