Well, crypto "leaks" too, to things like power companies and GPU manufacturers. That's made up for in growth of the value of the idle asset. The value, though, relies on the idea that some time in the future the asset can be used as something more than an asset to sit on - e.g, people could live there. Currently though, it's unused for that so I think it's fair to call it idle.
