- siquick 4y agoLet’s just hope this isn’t an option so a major corp can’t find yet another way to not pay tax.

- subarctic 4y agoWould the strike price be the same? If it is then I believe the employees are still on the hook for the same tax bill, because it's lower than the current fair market value.
- jacquesm 4y agoBecause Stripe as a whole is now much more valuable you'd either be defrauding the tax office or causing the employees to be massively diluted.
