This is an original TLT brief based on reporting by U.Today, with live market data added, as of Sun, 08 Nov 2026 16:45:02 UTC.

- U.Today reported an unidentified $163,000 Bitcoin Cash purchase

U.Today reported that an unidentified purchase involving roughly $163,000 in 
Bitcoin Cash has prompted speculation that Roger Ver may be accumulating the asset again. The outlet noted that Ver, widely known as “
Bitcoin Jesus,” reached a nearly $50 million settlement with U.S. authorities. It did not establish that Ver made the reported transaction, leaving the proposed connection unconfirmed.
Only U.Today covered the alleged purchase, and no other supplied outlet independently corroborated either the transaction or its attribution to Ver. Accordingly, the amount is a reported figure tied to the story, while the identity of the buyer and the motive behind the purchase remain unknown.
Bitcoin Cash traded at $245.38, down 4.74% over 24 hours and 13.32% over seven days, leaving its market capitalization at $4.94 billion. DeFiLlama listed CASH circulating supply at $130.21 million. The reported $163,000 purchase is larger than that listed circulating-supply figure, although the supplied data does not provide the transaction’s size relative to daily trading activity.
Market conditions were subdued overall: total crypto market capitalization stood at $2.61 trillion, and the broader market was described as flat. Bitcoin was priced at $75,926, up 0.10% over 24 hours but down 2.61% over seven days, while the Fear & Greed index registered 28, indicating fear. The reported BCH purchase and weak weekly performance provide context for renewed attention on the asset, but they do not confirm a Ver-linked accumulation campaign.
Since this brief published about 8 hours ago, Bitcoin (BTC) has moved from $75,926.00 to $75,896.00 — -0.04%.
The chart plots BTC's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₦104.66M (about $75,896.00), up 0.3% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.3% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
