SoftBank Group Corp. is selling $2.1 billion of its stake in Uber Technologies Inc. in a block trade through Goldman Sachs, according to people familiar with the matter.

SoftBank, Uber’s largest investor, is trimming its stake in the ride-hailing giant from 184 million shares as of March 31. SoftBank is also a significant investor in Chinese ride-hailing giant Didi Global Inc., which saw its share price tumble following Beijing’s regulatory crackdown.
