I certainly wish that the company could uplist organically, but, if not, I think the potential benefits of an uplist greatly exceed the possible short-term costs (e.g., shorting following the RS).
As I've said before, I believe CYDY management will employ the RS only when CYDY has a ton of good news to share, so that the sequence would be: (1) RS; (2) uplist; (3) unload a ton of good news regarding CYDY.
With that as my working assumption, I do not fear a RS, because I expect we will all be celebrating a substantial de-risking of this investment at the same time or shortly following the RS.
I also expect that anyone foolish or unlucky enough to short CYDY following a RS will regret the decision, and, if shorting happens following a RS, I might use it as a buying opportunity.
