Marqeta 10% Owner Jason Gardner Gifts 310,148 Shares

What Happened Jason M. Gardner, a reported 10% owner of Marqeta, Inc. (MQ), reported gift transactions on August 19, 2026. The Form 4 shows two dispositions and two acquisitions of 310,148 shares each, all recorded at $0.00 (transaction code G for gift).

Context Gifts and intra-family transfers are common for estate planning and tax purposes and do not by themselves signal a buy/sell decision about the company’s stock. Because these were gifts (not open-market purchases or sales), they do not generate proceeds and should be interpreted as transfers of ownership rather than market-driven trades. As a 10% owner and trustee, Gardner’s transfers reflect his control/role in family trusts rather than routine executive trading.
