Nobody sane and honest would keep $232M in cash, however.

Nor should they. That's an insecure, single point of failure to have all your cash stolen. Same with storing $232M in BTC on a single HDD. Of course, at the time it wasn't worth anything near that and he wasn't concerned. The point is, BTC should be treated as cash. If you can't handle it yourself, you give it to someone else to secure for you.
