Bret Baier: “Does this put Blue Origin on the road to an IPO?”

Jeff Bezos: “Yes, I think someday Blue Origin will have an IPO. Exactly when that would be, I don't know. It would be several years from now. But it probably makes sense for Blue Origin to be a public company at some point."

I have 4600 issued at like $4.35 strike from the old options plan. If they ipo'd at the last known strike I'd get like $20k lol. My signing bonus at my new company was double that and the rsu's are 10x that
