Is BZFDW diluting shareholders?

Read three numbers together: shares outstanding over time (see chart), warrants that can convert into new shares (0 reported), and how much cash runway remains (~10.432472797098358 months). A company short on cash with live registrations is structurally likely to issue shares.

Where do these numbers come from?

SEC EDGAR only: the XBRL company-facts API for shares, warrants and cash, and filing metadata for registrations and pricings. Every figure shows its source form, and nothing here is estimated by us beyond the arithmetic stated next to it.

Why might a warrant tranche be missing from the table?

The tranche table is built from the dimensions the company tagged in its own 10-Q or 10-K XBRL. A tranche the filer chose not to dimension does not appear, and its absence proves nothing: the exhibits remain the ground truth. Everything shown carries the filing it came from.

Overall dilution risk

HIGHworst of 2 computed signals (offering ability)

= the worst band among the computed sub-ratings, no hidden weighting

not every sub-rating was computable; treat as a floor

Offering ability

HIGHS-3 on file 2023-03-21

= is there a registration (S-1/S-3 family) on file without a later withdrawal

no structured fee data on the live registrations, so this is a yes/no, not a size

Overhead supply

NOT COMPUTEDno warrant count tagged in XBRL

= warrant shares outstanding divided by current shares outstanding

absence of a tag is not proof of absence of warrants

Historical dilution

NOT COMPUTEDunder 3 years of share history on file

= share count now vs 3 years ago

Cash need

MEDIUM~10.4 months of runway

= cash vs trailing operating burn (bands: 6mo / 24mo; positive operating CF = low)

the company itself flagged going-concern doubt

Same rating bands the category standard uses, but free, with the formula on the chip and the gaps in the data said out loud.

Shares outstanding over time

Fewer than two cover-page share counts on file, so there is no history to chart.

Warrants

Warrants outstanding: 0 underlying shares, as reported Dec 31, 2020 (10-Q).

Balance-sheet fair value of warrants: $0 as of Dec 31, 2025.

Convertible notes

Notes exactly as the company dimensioned them in its 10-Q filed Aug 6, 2026 →. Principal is face amount as tagged, not what remains after repurchases unless the filer updated the tag. A note the filer did not dimension is absent here, not absent from the balance sheet; the exhibits stay the ground truth.

Warrant tranches and convertible notes come from the dimensioned facts in the latest 10-Q/10-K instance document, exactly as the company tagged them; untagged tranches and notes are absent, not disproven. Nothing on this page is manually verified and nothing is behind a login: what free data supports is shown, what it cannot support is stated. Not investment advice.
