What do you really own when you own a stock other than the ability to sell it to someone else?

You don’t own a percentage of its treasury or earnings commensurate with your shares. You own assets in the event of bankruptcy but are junior to debt holders and creditors, i.e., probably SOL in that case.

Was thinking about MSTR, but really applies to all stocks.

I’m still baffled by people investing in MSTR just because they have bitcoin holdings which will hold value as long as there’s a buyer.

I still like MSTR but thinking about its flaws made me realize all stocks have them.
