Sign on bonus from new company to replace annual bonus from the current company

The annual bonuses are paid out in February 2021 but I want to leave the company as soon as possible so I was wondering if it's possible to negotiate with the new company so that they would pay me the annual bonus as a sign on bonus.
This way I will join the new company earlier but in return they give me additional sign on bonus (as much as my annual bonus), is this something that I can ask the new company to do or I should just wait until February and then switch companies?
My annual bonus is around 50k.
TC 380k.

Do they ever ask for documentation or proof how much my current annual bonus is or my RSUs?
what should be the tone of my ask How would you request this without sounding greedy at the same time sounding so confident that they would do their best behind the scenes without thinking that you're bluffing?
Break even is the key.
Also How can I ask for unwasted stocks How does that kind of negotiation work?
Thanks
I’ve done this.
Thanks
