Bitcoin stands at $83,110, Strategy added 250 BTC, and Monday's fund row is not printed yet

Bitcoin spent Monday until 14:26 near yesterday's close, not near the morning headline. CoinMarketCap held it at $83,108.76, CoinGecko at $83,116. The working price is $83,110, about 0.05 percent below yesterday's reading. Kriptoteme this morning records a pass near $84,050, with WTI oil at $90.28 and a drop of 1.8 percent. By this hour that morning pass is already behind the price.

Strategy confirmed a purchase of 250 BTC between 5 and 11 October, for about $21.5 million. The holding after that stands at 848,250 BTC. Alongside the purchase is a retirement of STRC shares of about $192 million. Michael Saylor posted it today. Bitcoin.com News carries the same schedule.

The funds are waiting for the US afternoon

Farside's last printed day is still Friday, 9 October: Bitcoin plus $21.1 million, ether minus $56.1 million, Solana minus $3.8 million. The week of 5 to 9 October on that table is minus $678.9 million for Bitcoin, minus $542.2 million for ether and minus $25.0 million for Solana. Cointelegraph today, via SoSoValue, writes the Bitcoin week as minus $681.1 million. The gap is small and real. I am not picking one total so the other disappears.

Monday, 12 October, at 14:26 Central European time still has no row. The US session opens at 15:30. Farside has not revised the days from 5 to 9 October. The XRP table on Farside was not available today. A separate report talks about an eleventh straight week of inflows into XRP funds, plus $11.3 million. That is not the same table, so I am not pasting it onto Farside's row.

The chain is still cheap

Mempool.space in the same hour gives 2 satoshis per virtual byte for the fastest fee, and 1 for the other recommendations. Yesterday everything was at 1. One reading of the mempool is 82,390 transactions, another a minute later is 82,554. Hashrate in the window the API gives stands at 1,004.62 exahash per second. Yesterday it was 1,018.84. The next difficulty adjustment is estimated at about plus 5.2 percent, on Friday 16 October around 16:54 Central European time.

For ADA this hour means only this: Bitcoin stood still, ADA rose slightly, so the ADA/BTC pair made back part of Sunday's drop. A fresh fund row, which would push that relationship, is not here yet.
