Insights

Equity ownership analyst

Large shareholder updates DigitalOcean stake after block sale.

The filing shows Access Industries–related entities collectively beneficially owning 18,653,451 DigitalOcean shares, or 17.87% of the company, using the issuer’s April 30, 2026 share count of 104,364,181. AI Droplet Holdings LLC is the primary holder with 18,378,199 shares.

On May 13, 2026, AI Droplet Holdings LLC sold 3,278,988 shares and AI Droplet Subsidiary LLC sold 21,012 shares in an unregistered block sale transaction. The filing emphasizes shared voting and dispositive power among Access-affiliated entities and Len Blavatnik, with various entities disclaiming beneficial ownership beyond their direct holdings.

This amendment mainly refreshes ownership percentages under Schedule 13D rules following the sales. The group remains a significant shareholder, so future ownership changes or additional block transactions would likely appear in subsequent beneficial ownership amendments.

beneficially owned financial

"to report a change in the percentage of shares of common stock ... beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons"

Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.

shared voting power financial

"Number of Shares Beneficially Owned by Each Reporting Person With: | 8 | Shared Voting Power 18,653,451.00"

Shared voting power occurs when two or more parties jointly have the right to vote or decide how a block of company shares is cast, like co-owners who must agree before moving a piece of furniture. Investors care because who controls voting rights affects board elections, major corporate decisions and takeover outcomes, and shared control can alter regulatory disclosures and the practical influence any holder has over a company’s direction and value.

sole dispositive power financial

"Number of Shares Beneficially Owned by Each Reporting Person With: | 9 | Sole Dispositive Power 18,378,199.00"

Sole dispositive power is the exclusive legal authority to decide what happens to a security — for example, whether to sell, transfer, or retain shares — without needing anyone else’s permission. Investors care because it signals who truly controls the economic outcome of an investment: like holding the only key to a safe, the holder can realize gains or losses and may trigger regulatory reporting, insider rules, or influence over corporate ownership.

unregistered block sale transaction financial

"Holdings sold 3,278,988 shares of Common Stock and Subsidiary sold 21,012 shares of Common Stock in an unregistered block sale transaction"

Schedule 13D regulatory

"This amendment is filed by the Reporting Persons in accordance with Rule 13d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934"

A Schedule 13D is a legal document that investors file with regulators when they buy a large enough stake in a company to potentially influence its management or decisions. It provides details about the investor’s intention, ownership stake, and plans, helping other investors understand who is gaining control and what their motives might be.
