> The organizations in this new group are based in more than 15 countries
I mean most nasdaq tech companies would be in 13+ countries, why are they writing this like it's a big number, is hilariously small?

I assume they're using a more candid definition where they're not counting all the countries a company may be based, but rather the primary country they're based in.
I don't think they're trying to flex this as a large number. They don't want to give an exact number, as that may change etc / is fuzzy, but also want to give you an idea of the scale.
They say "In the future, we intend to expand our geographical reach much further". I imagine this commentary is somewhat related to the concerns that AI will create an even worse "global underclass". AI developments are first accessible to Americans, then allies, and then later the whole world.
They're writing it in contrast to the previous scope, which doesn't seem to have been available to any organizations based outside the US. (There was news a few weeks ago about how Japanese banks were going to gain access, but based on the timing I think this announcement is that access.)
