While I’m not going out and buying any KodakCoin, this does sound like an excuse to load up on Tri-X 400.

Tri-X is sold by Kodak Alaris now, not Eastman Kodak, although I'm not sure who actually manufactures it:

Kodak Alaris and Eastman Kodak are separate companies.
Disclosure: I'm employed by Kodak Alaris.

Is the new Ektachrome that's being released by Kodak being released by Kodak Alaris or Eastman Kodak?
Ektachrome still photography film is a Kodak Alaris product. Kodak Alaris announced its return at CES in 2017:

Eastman Kodak is also, as per that press release, going to bring Ektachrome movie film to market for their Super 8 camera.
Interesting! Does Eastman Kodak only sell movie film?
As far as I know, yes. Kodak Alaris sells all of the Kodak brand still photography film, paper, and chemicals, as well as selling/managing/running the Kodak Moments app/website and the Kodak photo kiosks (such as can be found at Target stores in the USA).
I personally work in the Kodak Alaris division which makes Kodak branded (and now also Alaris branded) document scanners.
EDIT: to clarify that it's still photography film that Kodak Alaris sells under the Kodak brand.
