You know they will agree and give everyone stakes exactly when bubble is about to pop

Public stake isn't for profits (especially not short term capital gains), it's about concentration & not getting controlled.

Controlling something worthless is pointless anyway.

And giving it away to everyone will score political points.

You didn't read the article, or you didn't understand it.

The US Govt would not pay a cent for the shares of these companies.

It would simply seize them, half-nationalize them.

Its a half nationalization, not a half bailout.
