So, the domain was first registered in 1997?

Wow, I wonder how much an actual Bitcoin will be worth in 17 years.

Maybe $650 x 6500 ($1.1 Million/$170, cost of maintaining the domain over 17 years)

around $4,200,000 per Bitcoin?

Yeah, incredible, isn't it? But all 3-letter-domains have been sold for years now! They're so universally usable and the entropy isn't that high (about 17576 domains) that they were registered by domain squatters pretty quickly. Who was the previous owner?
