At least when you buy a share you literally own part of the company. If you were to sell all of it, including all the possessions of the company, you would still get a share.

Because a company has a value.

I'm still struggling to define what's the value of BTC

Why does a company have value? Why does a currency have value? It's always just a bet that someone will buy it from you in the future. Yes, you get a share of the company, but if nobody wants to buy the company or its stock, then you have a share of something that nobody will buy.
