Stock reverse splits don&#x27;t &quot;destroy&quot; value anymore than exchanging four quarters for a $1 bill. You do not have less value just because you own 1 unit instead of 4, because the value of the unit increased proportionately.<p>You can dilute proportional ownership, but there you just shifted the meaning of the term &quot;destroy&quot; and are using it in a funny way. Dilution does not decrease value. The reason your <i>percentage</i> of the pie decreases due to dilution is because the pie is getting bigger. You still have the same absolute amount of pie on your plate. Nobody destroyed any pie.
