Agree. But. If we use our paradigm then they own none of any of the other assets they have. They'll learn.

Bitcoin is a bearer asset. All other assets are a collection of rights and obligations stemming from a contract. Theyโ€™re not the same.

They do own the shares in Microstrategy but they own exactly 0 bitcoin

It's all just counterparty risk. Legally speaking, possession of bitcoin keys doesn't equal ownership.
