As with any property claim it’s only meaningful as long as you have the recognition of someone who can defend that claim.
If I buy property on Earth and someone else tries to build a mine on it then I can sue them in a court of law and even have them removed by law enforcement if necessary. If I claim property on the moon and someone else builds a mine on it then I’m out of luck unless I hire a bunch of space mercenaries.
