Could be an interesting bit of flavor, a digital exchange terminal on Tavros as a bit of a money sink. By late-game you have x0,000 credits sitting around, one way to get rid of it while feeling like you're progressing is buying 0.001% of Steele or Akkadi. You could add randomized price fluctuations if you're feeling generous, but really that's not as important as the feeling that you're empirebuilding.
Maybe in addition to the Megacorps, there's also some smaller fish floating around with random names that you have a reasonable chance of buying out if you grind some credits (200k?). Upon reaching 100% of their shares, you'd get some official message from your trust fund/steele corp informing you that it's been officially liquidated into SteeleCorp and your shares have been converted to an equivalent value of Steele shares.
The flavor of the exchange could either be a hyperdigital version of the current market, or it could be treated as something more like the corporations of the 1800's and before. Oligarch "owners" with relatively large stakes in corporations like Standard Oil, receiving formal messages informing them of their dividend. Plebians need not apply. This would also remove the need for any sort of price fluctuation, as you're buying from a more white-glove exclusive marketplace rather than some High Frequency Trader infested public market.
