That's not a valid example of things that can happen in the market. You're making up ridiculously unrealistic numbers and clearly don't understand the basics of how the process works.
Share buybacks are always executed at the current market price. The company doesn't offer a higher price. A large buyback order might move the share price up a tiny bit but triggering an increase from $1 to $2 is impossible for any company traded on a major US exchange.
Pardon my bluntness, but you apparently don't understand how the process works.
I'm not claiming the price jumped from $1.10 to $2 without hitting any intermediate prices. That's your idea.
