This smells like a sophisticated investor pump and dump: sell a small number of shares for a stupid amount to use the new valuation as the marker.

I would trust this number far less than a number one would arrive at a new VC round

Unlikely due to the buyers also being sophisticated. "Sequoia and Steadfast Financial bought shares at a $5 billion valuation from some of Zapier’s original investors."
