The strongest evidence is the validated PANews article, which specifically attributes the statement to Nikita Bier and links it to the purported original X post at https://x.com/nikitabier/status/2040626340853080279. However, direct fetching of that X post failed in this run, so I could not independently verify the exact wording from the primary source. The provided Odaily link does not support the claim because it traces to an unrelated Coin Bureau post. Given that one concrete secondary report aligns closely with the claim but primary-source verification was unsuccessful, the statement is best assessed as likely_true with low confidence rather than confirmed.
