Doesn't the value drop dramatically if it has already been shared with Troy and the HIBP database? Or is there a time frame where it has been authenticated by Troy but not yet added to the database?

I don't think so.

Troy isnt publicly sharing the credentials and that's what's valuable — especially having "exclusive" access.

He blogged or tweeted about this at some point. Sadly, I can't find the link.
