        $700 Million at IPO in 1986. In today’s dollars it was $1.66 Billion. Most importantly, $MSFT was profitable at IPO unlike all the easy 💰VC’s throw at startups unburdening these toxic companies to the public when profitability maybe decades in the future or may never happen

        No he was taking skin out, probably needed a little more money to buy more call options knowing price would only go up!
