Fact Check
Two independent secondary social media sources (@BitcoinArchive and @WatcherGuru) both report figures consistent with the claim: 1,103 BTC purchased in Q1 2026, total holdings of 16,492 BTC worth ~$1.3B, and ~$88M spent. The numbers are internally consistent (1,103 BTC × ~$80k/BTC ≈ $88M; 16,492 BTC × ~$79k ≈ $1.3B). Coinbase's investor relations page confirms Q1 2026 results were released on May 7, 2026, the same day as collection. However, no official Coinbase press release, shareholder letter, or SEC filing was directly retrieved to confirm the exact figures, so confidence is medium rather than high. The claim is assessed as likely true pending official primary source confirmation.
