Yup, could be to protect against takeover as company with high value low share price is ripe for hostile takeover if certain protections are not built. And can also be used for internal purposes such as employee stock option plans and such. I do not think anyone here believes that the company intends to dump 100B shares into the market as it is simply not possible from a supply/demand perspective.
