I personally know people who stack 5-10 trusts for as many family members as they can. This appears to give them 50% more tax-free money (10 to 15 million) per person in their trusts.
This applies per person. When startup founders realize their stock is actually worth a lot they form trusts and each one gets QSBS. Each trust must be to a different person.

So it applies to a situation when you hold stock of a company that's large enough to issue stock, but is, and has always been, small enough to never have more than $50M in assets, and you must hold the stock for at least 5 years. How common is that?
This also applies for options exercised before the company reaches $50M in assets. And then the gain from a valuation from $50M to say $1B is all excluded.

Its funny. Generally, people in the startup world frowned on this bill because of the cuts to essential services. Nonetheless, we’re thrilled about the expansion of QSBS. Perhaps there’s always a silver lining.
There are so many provisions that you should have mixed opinions about them. The evaluation of the bill as a whole should be whether or not the tradeoffs are reasonable.

Not just exercised, but bought before the company reaches $50M in assets.
