If their warrants were priced at, say $0.30, and the holder exercises 100k warrants (as you suggest) say, now, and then turns around and sells the shares they received, they’ll collect around $0.63 a share, or $63,000. But because the seller did not hang on to the shares for a year following upon receiving their shares, they pay the short term capital gains tax (like income) of 40 to 50%… and so will keep only around $32,000 to $38,000 of their $63,000 gain

All of the cheerleading post on here are just that; speculation and cheerleading with facts often not involved (OR DELETED).
