Yes, that’s exactly what my example tells you. And share price remains the same. You keep claiming it goes up or somehow is “worth more” which is absolutely not what happens. Current shareholders don’t get that $10B as you claim (please look at the math in my simple example). That’s new equity split among all shareholders, new and old, not just current ones, thus keeping the price per share the same. And ownership share of the company goes down per share of stock. That’s the literal definition of dilution.
