416 tons of CO2e is what... The amount emitted by a single family in a few days?
I reckon I could turn my thermostat back a few degrees and save that.

That doesn’t make 416 tons a lot by any stretch, but we are still early in the technology cycle for carbon removal/sequestration.

I'm sure the numbers vary depending on what middle ground you choose. Here's another number that's higher than yours or mine - 48t CO2/yr: http://css.umich.edu/factsheets/carbon-footprint-factsheet
Atleast the different numbers I see are off by much less than the GP's claim.
The biggest benefit by Stripe purchasing carbon removal is the increase in awareness, funding and acceleration of research. It takes a lot for a company to buck the trend of $5/ton carbon credit greenwashing and invest $600/ton into active carbon removal.
