385k BTC is $3.6 billion USD.

At that time BTC peaked at $1k. So that would've been $380 million max. Also, this was apparently revenue, not profit.

BTC was not always worth that much...385k btc can also be around 80 pizzas. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/meet-the-man-who-spent-millions...

In case you aren't being sarcastic he likely means $385k in BTC.

Edit: I was wrong holy shit that's a lot of money.
