$MSTO share dilution and volume. Some have suggested in a blurp such recent share volume is a direct result of company dilution. Perhaps we may want a basic working definition for some clarity.

Share dilution happens when a company issues additional stock. Therefore, shareholders' ownership in the company is reduced, or diluted when these new shares are issued. (ref: investopedia) so in essence yes, there is an ongoing dilution in certain respects. However, if we dig deeper perhaps there is some enlightening information out there in hopes of gaining a better understanding of this movement although we would argue it is far from a Zeitgeist effect.

Example: Recently at least for a short time we have been updating the AS/OS (and thanks to some members in the forum posting the info so we can just copy it) and the shares held at the DTC.

When one compares the DTC shares it looks like this:

Held at DTC 685,529,715 03/03/2022 (beginning of the month)
Held at DTC 735,479,715 03/20/2022 (a couple of days ago)
Held at DTC 820,479,715 03/23/2022 (yesterday)

You may notice the shares held at the DTC are rising ... any thoughts as to why that might be the case. We do ~ how about you?
