They've historically proven to be operating as simply a different centralized body of power that isn't a government issuing fiat.
I can imagine at least a couple of scenarios where it might be in the interests of (some?) investors to spruik such a thing.
There’s a lot of power being generated by, and flowing within and between, various organisations throughout the world. It’s probably possible to tap in to that a gather some of it close to you, especially if you are a group of tech minded wealthy folk.
