sharehodler 

A neologism blending shareholder and HODL (crypto slang for “hold”), used satirically to describe an extractive investor or corporate executive who:

- Clings to equity and short-term profits regardless of a company’s long-term sustainability.

- Pushes extractive practices such as buybacks, dividends, or aggressive cost-cutting that benefit shareholders at the expense of workers, customers, or society.

- Embodies the dogmatic logic of financial capitalism, prioritizing shareholder enrichment while ignoring stakeholder well-being.

“The boardroom was packed with sharehodlers demanding another stock buyback while the company’s workers hadn’t seen a raise in years.”

Josh: I hate people that refer to their sports team as “we.” It’s only appropriate if you are a shareholder.

Nicole: I am a shareholder. I am an emotional shareholder.

Caitlin: Ooh. She got you there, Josh.
