I believe Fireman is conflating concepts. I doubt he means a buyout of the entire company, since he’s also referring to the future stock price increasing when various milestones are achieved.
It’s similar to my view, that a partnership/collaborations will be reflected in the share price subsequent to an uplist. So nothing happens all at once, it will take time for the share price to appreciate.
So maybe the starting point is $4 or $5 per share, then $10 or $15 by the same time next year?
