If they "only" moderate a subreddit, and not running the company, they would hardly be able to "hijack the company", no?

All that would happen is that users move onto their own subreddits, as they used to do before. Reddit could just promote those branch communities. The moderators aren't exactly forcing the admins to do one thing or another.
