Funny enough the highest price point for IP ranges is somewhere between /16 and /24, IIRC. You can count how many companies need and will be willing to pay 8-9

You can count how many companies need and will be willing to pay 8-9 figures for a /8 without getting to your toes. And subnetting it and selling it to maximize returns is hard work.
But if you’re sitting on a /21? That’ll move before you can count how many IPs are in the block ;)
- OGWhales 7y agoWhy are they so valuable?
- lolc 7y agoBecause there are only four billion addresses all in all. Every device that wants to be reachable on the Internet needs one. These days, mobile devices don't get a public address anymore and there are all sorts of complications due to it. We're slowly transitioning to a new scheme with ample address space. But to nobody's surprise it's taking decades longer than envisioned.
