the way i see it: it is impossible for an individual or a group to own bitcoin, because it's a giant set of distributed bits all over the world, a collective ownership of sorts. what is possible is to possess the private keys or knowledge of where those keys are and how to get to them, or who holds them for u.

what one does with those keys is up to the holder - he can sign a message, move sats from one address to another, lock sats into an LN channel, etc.
