According to him, the company risks entrapment through consistent share issuance that dilutes current holders&#8217; stakes.<\/p>\n<p>This dilution can, in turn, exert downward pressure on the share price. A plummeting stock price necessitates further sales of shares to generate cash, initiating a cycle that could escalate rapidly.<\/p>\n<p>Such a scenario illustrates a straightforward mathematical problem that becomes increasingly complex and painful in a volatile market.
