> I own 2048 IPv4’s myself and their value is ever increasing.

I own several /22's, and are renting them out through a broker. So far, 1 months rent (easily) covers the yearly RIR costs, so quite a good margin, and I still own them.

So when time comes, I can sell them, but before that, rent keeps coming in. Just need to make sure they are sold before the market value of an IPv4 crashes to zero.

What kind of entities does your broker rent them out to? Are you worried at all about tenants trashing your IPs' reputation and future market value?
This is a good question, I don't get why you are downvoted. I also own some /22 and I've been so far reluctant to rent them for the reasons you mentioned.
What are you currently using them for? Are they just sitting dormant ?
Right now yeah, mostly dormant. Some are used for an anycast http frontend and anycast irc, but that's pretty much it.
