You’d have to ask a tax attorney, but this exact scenario happened to a friend of mine who held his equity through a foreign entity. When he wanted to cash out, he was hit by an extra US tax penalty specifically for when you hold your equity through a foreign entity.

I was in the same boat as you when I started my company and looked into the same kind of setup. I researched it at the time but cannot remember the details.
