Real butter lasts a long time in the ambient temperature. Salted butter lasts longer than unsalted butter. We keep our ceramic butter dish on the kitchen countertop. covered. If it's left on the kitchen table there is a Very Bad Kitten that will happily knock the cover off and have a feast.
Historically butter has been a long lasting trade item.

Would wrapped sticks left in the fridge last a month, maybe two?

We keep it in a covered butter dish on the counter except during heat waves over about 90F. During those it hides in the fridge.
We generally buy Kerrygold irish butter which is from grass fed cows and has higher butterfat content than American butter. Because of that it's not only tastier, it's naturally yellow and spreads much more easily, even if refrigerated.

Wow, I had no idea butter could be happy outside the fridge for so long!
Thank's for all the information.

I think that's what it would take for me to go through a pound.

The guidelines say at least a month after the "sell-by" date marked on the package. After that the butter is still usable, but the texture and taste can start to change. Salted butter stores better and stays good longer. Leave the wrapped sticks in the carton, store in the main part of the refrigerator compartment, not the butter compartment on the door.
Butter can be stored safely almost indefinitely if frozen, wrap it tightly in aluminum foil or place in a heavy duty freezer bag. Unsalted butter will start to have texture changes after about 6 months, salted after about a year.

Who buys unsalted butter?
People who make pastry and other baked goods that use butter. Also for sauces, sometime you don't want as much salt as part of the seasoning.

Yep
You can always add salt to something, but you can't remove it.

Kerrygold Irish butter is THE BOMB. Last time I checked, my local Costco carries it.
