The Bitcoin Historian claimed in a Nov. 10 post that Barclays acquired Bitcoin (BTC) worth more than $54 million and separately put the bank’s Bitcoin holdings above $165 million.
The post cast the purchase as a Barclays announcement. It gave dollar figures but no number of bitcoins.
The claim follows an earlier post from the same account about BNY. EconoTimes’ earlier coverage of the BNY claim said that post valued BNY’s Bitcoin position above $201 million and claimed it had risen by more than 77%. That post left out the date tied to its valuation, the span behind the reported rise and the amount of Bitcoin involved.
