Hedge funds aren't investing in bitcoin because for the moment they are not really able to, except for a few weird, esoteric, accredited-investor-only funds.

You're confused between hedge funds and mutual funds. Hedge funds have pretty much no legal restrictions on what they can do with their money.

By not able to I mean literally not able to, as in not possible / convenient. There simply isn't sufficient investing infrastructure or liquidity in place for most hedgies.
