Well considering that's around $16.7 million, I'm not surprised.
What's more amusing is that the auction is "cash only".

#6Anyone care to take a guess as to how will this affect Bitcoin price?

I think it's pretty standard when auctioning high-dollar-value items to require some sort of verifiable deposit to prove you actually could make the purchase if you're the high bidder...

Yes, since they're being sold in 3000 BTC blocks, the deposit is understandably high. I imagine the blocks will sell for much more than that.

#9This seems insane. Shouldn't it be cheaper and more efficient to just sell them on an exchange or something? (Over time, even, rather than all at once, obviously.)
"Let's sell them all in blocks of 3000 and require a deposit of $200k to bid" ... yeah ...

Considering that each asset is worth over $1M I imagine the deposit keeps out the riff-raff.
