Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison has pledged an additional 67 million shares of Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) as collateral for personal loans, adding $9.2 billion to the total amount of Oracle stock Ellison has pledged as collateral compared to last year, according to a proxy filing released on Friday. This represents a 19% increase in the amount of Oracle stock Ellison has pledged since 2025, and now makes up about 36% of Ellison's holdings in the company.
