All correct, but more important than ownership is the fact that buying stock infuses a company with cash which gives it fuel to grow the business, unlike trading crypto tokens which does nothing except register a notch in a ledger, buying stock is literally an investment.
- kareemsabri 4y agoI don't think so. The company makes money on the IPO, after which the shares are just changing hands between traders. The vast majority of trades are the latter type.
- bennyelv 4y agoThe company rarely issues all its shares at IPO and can trade them on the stock market like any other participant. It can sell them if it wants to raise more money, or buy them back if it has spare cash.
- kareemsabri 4y agoFair, that's true.
