I honestly doubt that much of this is going into buying and holding bitcoins. Institutional investors are already trading big numbers of bitcoins via Second Market. They don't use regular exchanges and certainly wouldn't need to go through the 'false investment' route. I do however think a large part of this would go towards Coinbase improving its bitcoin stash. They've been running out of stock every single week.
