The owner is the ex-banker TZVETAN VASSILEV, currently charged with fraud of over $100 million.
The coin (one of many and some of them also extremely rare) will be held in the National History Museum. There wont be any public access for now - the coins will be shown only to the defense lawyers if needed.
And perhaps one day it will be available for sale.
Unfortunately I do not know any source in English - here is one article from the local press:

Does the Smithsonian own them or does the US government own them and they are on indefinite loan to the Smithsonian?

It is my understanding that the Smithsonian owns everything that the Mint gives them annually. Obviously there could be exceptions such as if the Mint were to loan the SI the Langboard 10 for an exhibit.
