Stacking EOS on Block Producers Account

Question

I was verifying the amount of EOS staked by BPs. After going through a number of them its seems they have not staked most of their EOS to the NET.

...

As far as I understand their votes could increase the low number of staked votes we currently have on the system (currently at 22%).

Are the block producers restricted from staking a significant amount of their EOS tokens?

they may just need liquid eos for costs

No.

I think @confused00 is right, EOS is the income for BPs, so they leave it liquid to pay for their operating costs.

yeah and bps voting too much with block rewards may be sufficiently politically interpretabile/ambiguous in some contexts that some may prefer to keep away unless strictly necessary
