If I’m understanding correctly, a company at any given time has a fixed number of shares that split the ownership of that company, thus if a CEO is paid with shares someone else must be giving up their shares.
In: Economics
A company will often own many shares of its own stock for exactly this reason, re: to give to employees as bonuses, sometimes as a sign on bonus, sometimes as a performance bonus. It’s why you hear about companies doing stock buybacks as well when the company has cash reserves.
