Edit:  remember that Schmidt has been aware of bitcoin for almost a year now (at least):

Schmidt also revealed that Google wanted to create a rival to Internet peer to peer currency Bitcoin. The company planned to call it "Google Bucks." Though Schmidt said peer to peer currencies like Bitcoin are "a great idea," Google Bucks never got off the ground because these currencies are illegal in many countries.

I think this has more to do with the company denominated in USD than the stock itself... The Chinese have still plenty of thirst you know.

either they'll have to make more Bitcoins for him or the price would have to go up, huh?

Duh.  Of course that would drive the price up.  I don't think $2.5 bn are enough to corner the market.
