How Does the Concept of Controlling a Majority Share Relate to Corporate Takeovers in Finance?

Controlling a majority share (over 50%) in a corporation allows the holder to control the board of directors and make fundamental business decisions, similar to how a 51% hash rate allows control over a blockchain's transaction ledger. In both cases, majority control grants the power to dictate outcomes.

A corporate takeover is a financial maneuver to gain this control, while a 51% attack is a computational maneuver.
