06:49 AM EDT, 03/25/2026 (MT Newswires) -- (Updates with Meta's response in the fourth paragraph)

Meta (META) Tuesday introduced a new stock option program for senior executives that delivers full payouts only if the company reaches a $9 trillion market capitalization by 2031, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

The target implies roughly a 500% increase from Meta's current valuation of about $1.5 trillion, The Wall Street Journal reported.

The executives to receive the perks include Chief Financial Officer Susan Li, Chief Technology Officer Andrew Bosworth, Chief Product Officer Christopher Cox and Chief Operating Officer Javier Olivan, according to regulatory filings.

Meta said CEO Mark Zuckerberg is not participating in the stock option program, the WSJ report said.

Meta did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
