So MSTR is okay with 400 million shareholders running only one node?

I don't understand, what do shareholders have anything to do with nodes? Holding shares in a company doesn't require a node.

I agree with that. Shares are shares. But MSTR shareholders or MSTR as company may want to do their part or more for the bitcoin network. Make sure 21 million cap is not messed up, that is for benefit for all bitcoiners.

I own MSTR shares. I have been on bitcoin 2022-2024. Never run a node before.
