Would be nice to have data available on this.

If the company is not public, there are no dividends. Crazy that stuff like this needs to be explained on a tech site.

This is not strictly true. A company can pay dividends if it's profitable at any point in time. Whether it's publicly traded doesn't matter. Whether it's a good idea or not is another question.

Here in Canada private companies can and do pay dividends to their shareholders.
