Doesn't it make more sense to type it as it's read?
"$" is a modifier, not a word. Otherwise you'd be reading it as "9 dollar sign", not "9 dollars".
According to crunchbase, they raised money at a $3.25B valuation in 2012. If they are IPOing at $2.66B now, that means a lot of stock options granted in-between are going to be worthless, unless they were granted at some very different price...
Yes, Square's private per share prices: Series A: $0.21627 Series B: Series C: $5.79817 Series D: $11.014 Series E: $15.46345 IPO @ $9 is not great for lots of folks, but mostly late-stage employees (assuming D & E investors have a liquidation preference - though I don't know for sure).

Just went through an IPO and we had a stock split to bring the price down to a number around $14. Square could also be doing a split so that $9 doesn't mean D & E are getting screwed.

They'd be smart to hand out some heavy cash bonuses to employees that have been dreaming about $20 per share for years.

In my experience incentive stock options that companies give to employees normally are heavily discounted.
That, plus they've probably been granting RSUs for a while, which do not require being exercised and which cannot be underwater,
