They didn't sell all of their allotment. only a portion.  You can request a block of IPs from AMPRNet https://wiki.ampr.org/wiki/Requesting_a_block

And they're not sitting on it, the money is being used to fund grants and scholorships https://www.ardc.net/apply/grants/

AMPRNet still has plenty of IP address space, You can learn more about it here:

...I'll tell you one fact - it may be rather boring but it's interesting.
