It didn't seem like Momoshiki did that out of spite.. it seemed like he peered into Boruto's future and realized that Boruto is special, BUT he would need that power in order to succeed at whatever he is destined to succeed at?? Perhaps. It might not be purely altruistic, though. It might be that he simply wants to continue his own legacy by perpetuating his chakra, or perhaps it will allow him to exert his will over Boruto somehow. Maybe it will make it possible for him to be reborn. Maybe it will even be a beacon that draws more Otsutski to the world.

While I personally think it'll probably just be a power source similar to a Curse Seal, there are certainly lots of other possibilities. We should just agree that no one can definitely ascertain what the motivation behind Momoshiki´s action was. His behaviour was consistently hostile & condescendingly towards any humans he encountered, therefore any altruistic motives, can be regarded as unlikely, with a tendency towards 0% probability. The only thing, that we, the audience, can deduce through his speech, is the foreshadowing of future events, his Byakugan ability to predict or possibly even see the future of other individuals (which is closer to it´s possible inspiration Shiva´s allseeing eye)to the abilities, specifically excluding himself, depending on the limitations the author intends to bestow upon him as the story unfolds itself. We do not know how he did it, but we can derive his ability to talk in etherial form to Boruto through other characters who have already performed similar tasks through the manipulation of Chakra and it´s enchantment into their desired destinations or people. Examples include but are not limited too: Minato, Kushina, Hagoromo and Obito.
