Gilthwixt:
Assuming Ellicott-Chatham Technologies is worth roughly the same as Apple was last summer (approximately 301 Billion USD), that would put Station's ownership at 0.2%...seems reasonable for the "person" running the whole Space Station.

He stated that the 4.6 million he transferred to her was .76% of his shares. That means Station alone owns shares totaling more than $500 million.
So either he owns a sizable portion of the company (maybe he designed the station before transferring himself into it?), or the ECT is much, much bigger than Apple.
Method of Madness:
We've already established his shares as about $600 million, which would be about .2% of $300 billion. We don't know that he owns .2% of ECT, and we don't know its total market cap. I do agree though that it's most likely in the trillions, though.
Soulsynger:
Now that's what I call "please-don't-hold-a-grudge"-bribery. :-D
Also, Lt. Uninhibited is cute with open hair and an expression of bafflement.
Is it cold in here?:
Maybe Station is trying to head off a sexual harassment lawsuit. If so, the amount implies that laws are stricter in the QC universe.
AIs have free will, so you have to do something to secure their loyalty. Or their discretion.
Asking what an AI would do with $600 million invites the question of what a human would do with it.
