If you own solely class F shares you'll need to liquidate your class F shares to pay this tax.
If you're lucky you'll have enough common stock to sell off. But eventually you'll run out.

See: https://techcrunch.com/2020/08/21/palantir-three-class-voting/ https://techcrunch.com/2020/08/21/palantir-three-class-votin... "Palantir wants to push the envelope further though with a three-class structure that would prioritize Thiel, Karp, and Cohen above all others. In Palantir’s model, there would be a Class A share with 1 vote, a Class B share with 10 votes, and a special “Class F” share with variable votes. Class F shares would share 49.999999% (six 9s in the decimal – I counted twice) of the voting power of Palantir at all times, regardless of the underlying ownership of shares. Important to note that that is not a “majority” and thus they will not have literally a controlling stake in the public company."
