Exchanging into dollars is momentary, it's dollar withdrawal that takes days. So, actually the only risk that's being taken by bitpay is the fifteen minutes between the moment the price is displayed and someone pays (after 15 minutes the proce they lost in btc becomes invalid)

And even against that risk they can hedge. So it can really be sustaining.
