This relies on - and takes advantage of - a lack of understanding on how these organizations are able to operate Drop all the currency terms and what you have is a product, a consumer good sold to the public that some employees are given. The employees are free to sell in parallel to the organization selling it. When that runs out the organization still has 100% share ownership So THEN it gets put on the same lower level of flexibility as startups and all private tech companies. So the answer is not that hard: it issues stock options to founders and employees when the product sells dry up. This is not funding just incentivizing, which the article and crypto industry conflates. The organization and founders have been funding themselves by exchanging the product for cash. LOTS of cash, for years. The organization has an unknown amount of cash REVENUE from simply selling Zcash from their treasury+mining, this is done on the open market
