Is it not a little ironic that this payout is in bitcoin, that has been repeatedly shown to be the furthest thing from anonymous? Would they not be better off exchanging it for a coin with baked in anonymity?

Why would funding for products providing a level of anonymity need to be anonymous? I can see a level of accountability being useful for both parties.

You can achieve reasonably anonymous payments through use of good opsec, and by utilizing CoinJoins: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/CoinJoin

Wasabi Wallet has built in trustless coinjoins, routed through tor by default: https://wasabiwallet.io/

Samourai Wallet has similar features, requiring a much smaller amount of coins: https://samouraiwallet.com/

I assume anyone competent enough to hang on to this amount of bitcoin is already doing this.
