I think there's a sci-fi story about something like this, though I don't remember what it was called.

Accelerando by Charlie Stross heavily features autonomous corporations, and is from 2005 - well before dumb poo poo like the "DAO" showed up IRL. And promptly got hacked.

That's the one. I should read that some time.

Good news. It's free on Stross' website in a variety of formats.
