This wouldn't per se force owners to give up equity, it'd merely prevent them from making it available to a limited circle of investors.

- ball_of_lint 9y agoThis could be done without forcing anyone to sell if companies were allowed to be listed with very little volume/liquidity. Essentially those who own shares could publicly trade them, but there would be no IPO, and possibly no shares available to buy.
