Highest bid on BIT is now 400 USD for a coin. And nobody is selling yet...

This does sound like good news, but there's a problem...

As the Twitter message mentions, people that have held their 'shares' for 12 months or more can now sell.
I cannot find how many BTC Grayscale holds, but it can never be a lot.

This makes for a problem, as the volume can never be higher than the amount of shares/BTC that has been held for more than 12 months.

This volume is probably not even 1% of the daily traded volume on current exchanges, which means at the moment this is still useless to institutional investors.

But would the next buyer have to hold as long?

No, but if you buy new shares directly from the BIT you need to hold for 12 months before selling on the OTC market.
