I found this interesting article about using lunar land claims as a source of revenue for a lunar base.

some interesting points from the article:

some interesting points from the article:
Establish a Lunar base and US courts will recognize your claim for up to 4% of its surface (600,000 contiguous sq. miles, 384M acres).
Sell the land claims to people on earth (defended by US courts) to immediately recoup investments in the base.
Maintain your claim to this real estate by sustaining the base indefinitely with “regular” missions to and from the base.
Revenue from land recognitions provides incentive to START a base
Significant Revenues are needed to SUSTAIN a base. The land grants provide a base about a decade of operations to develop multiple $$ billions in annual revenue.
Launch pace will be a challenge - can the US handle a launch to a moon base every other Month?
