3 months ago, BTC price was ~8k USD/BTC, and now sits at ~10.5 USD/BTC... So is it really sitting without earning interest? What other investment gives you ~180% interest rate year over year[0]? I wouldn't exactly calling this "$1 billion sitting without earning interest".

[0] I know I'm oversimplifying here, there have been ups and downs in price, etc

The price will go straight back down below 8k if they tried to sell it. Nobody wants 94k bitcoin.
