Mystery $163,000 BCH Purchase Revives Questions About Roger Ver
A reported $163,000 Bitcoin Cash purchase was linked speculatively to Roger Ver, although the buyer has not been identified.
A reported $163,000 Bitcoin Cash purchase was linked speculatively to Roger Ver, although the buyer has not been identified. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at ₹71,41,219 ($75,878.00). This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by U.Today, with live market data added, as of Sun, 08 Nov 2026 13:00:01 UTC.
The transaction could add another data point to Ver’s post-settlement Bitcoin Cash activity, but an anonymous purchase alone does not establish ownership. Larger BCH weakness and a fearful market backdrop make attribution more important than the transaction’s headline value.
- A mystery buyer reportedly acquired $163,000 of BCH
- Roger Ver was suggested as the possible owner, not confirmed
- BCH fell 4.66% over 24 hours and 12.80% over seven days
- Bitcoin was nearly unchanged over 24 hours
U.Today reported that an unidentified wallet purchased approximately $163,000 worth of 
Bitcoin Cash, prompting speculation that Roger Ver—known as “
Bitcoin Jesus”—might be accumulating BCH again. The outlet connected the possible purchase to Ver’s nearly $50 million settlement with U.S. authorities, but the transaction summary does not provide independent evidence identifying him as the buyer.
The report therefore establishes the amount and the speculation, rather than confirming a return by Ver. No address, transaction identifier, or attribution methodology is supplied in the coverage. DeFiLlama’s live figures list Bitcoin Cash circulating supply at $130.21 million, although the market data provided separately gives BCH a market capitalization of $4.96 billion; those supplied measures do not reconcile and should be treated as distinct data fields.
Market conditions were unfavorable for BCH during the reported purchase period. Bitcoin Cash traded at $246.56, declining 4.66% over 24 hours and 12.80% over seven days, while its reported market capitalization was $4.96 billion. Bitcoin was comparatively steady at $75,900, down 0.03% over 24 hours but down 2.69% over seven days.
The wider market was described as flat, with total capitalization of $244.54 trillion, while the Fear & Greed reading of 28 remained in “Fear.” What would resolve the story is verified wallet attribution or additional disclosures linking the purchase to Ver; without that evidence, the reported swap remains an unattributed transaction amid pronounced short-term weakness in BCH.
Since this brief published about 4 hours ago, Bitcoin (BTC) has moved from ₹71,43,289.26$75,900.00 to ₹71,41,218.74$75,878.00 — -0.03%.
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 Token Times'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 ≈ ₹7.69M (about $75,878.00), up 0.1% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 7.8% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
