" Paying a nominal dividend of $0.25 - $0.50 would not hurt anything. Would not hurt anybody. Whoever trades the $685,000 A shares is not going to do anything different. Nor, really, are people who trade the B shares going to do anything different.
Heck, just have the dividend only on the B shares and not the A shares."

hi, you can't have a div on the Bs and not the As. But again, either Meta, Goog, Apple, Msft, etc are all wrong, OR, Buffett is being stubborn and he's wrong. I doubt the major shareholders in those tech stocks need the div to pay the rent on their double wide trailers, the small div increases demand for their shares. The higher stock price more than covers the tax consequences of the small div, especially if you are selling billions a year of your shares like Buffett. I bet Buffett and Gates have had this discussion many times since MSFT paid that one-time div years ago. I shouldn't have sold msft ,long ago , huge error.
