Dickman, Chief Technology Officer of Fold Holdings, converted 178 restricted stock units (RSUs) into common shares on 2026-04-17 and then sold 61 shares in an open-market sale on 2026-04-20 at $1.50 per share, generating $92. The sale was a company-mandated "sell-to-cover" to satisfy tax withholding obligations and not a discretionary trade by Mr. Dickman.
