I wonder whether there could be space here for a bank to come in and specialise in loans to cover the tax bill, using the currently pre-IPO stock as security

That's literally what the Bolt CEO did. He ran a company that offered his employees the loans.

That’s absolutely a thing, I know people who did it. However “security” can be expensive, they might demand some of the upside as well.
