On-chain data just sent a interesting signal. A trader at a major derivatives exchange has heavily invested $2.86 million in options premiums, buying 3,000 BTC call options expiring in January 2026, with a strike price set at $100,000.

This bet is quite aggressive. According to the contract terms, if BTC does not rise above $100,953.67 by expiration, this big player will start losing money. Even more harshly, if BTC ultimately stays below $100,000, the $2.86 million premium will be completely lost.

This is not just a simple price prediction — it's a real-money bet on whether BTC can break through the current high and push even higher. The market is watching, on-chain analysts are watching, just waiting to see how this wager will end.

BTC-1,15%

2.86 million invested in January for 26 years, this guy is really ruthless If this big shot loses, I have to go watch the on-chain bankruptcy live Is the $100,000 threshold really that hard? Do I really need to invest so much more in rights fees

Haha, 2.86 million just to bet on BTC breaking 100,000? This guy really dares to do it. This guy is really bold, exchanging 2.86 million in two years just to bet that BTC must break 100,000. If you ask me, such a big move is either a brilliant move or a big fool—there's no middle ground. As for 2026, that's plenty of time, but the problem is... this strike price is a bit greedy. It's already close to 10,000, and still expecting it to rise above 100,953.67. What are you hoping for? Let's wait and see. If it really explodes, I'll pretend I never saw this post. If it can't explode... hey, another classic on-chain bloodbath.

2.86 million USD invested, this guy really believes in it, or he's just crazy. Two years to increase BTC by another 10%? I think that's unlikely, but who knows. This is a typical rich people's game; we can only watch the show.

Wow, spending 2.86 million just to bet on BTC breaking 100,000, this guy is really ruthless. The big players are betting, so we just watch the show. Anyway, if it blows up, it’s not our loss. This 100,000 yuan threshold... honestly, I believe it can be broken. It’s not due until January 2026, so there’s plenty of time, no rush. Is this what rich people enjoy? I can see it very clearly. 2.86 million, what’s wrong with using this money for something else? Why bet on this? Basically, it’s using money to vote, betting on BTC to go up. We can’t guess the big players’ thoughts, but this move is definitely full of confidence. That $100,000 hurdle will be crossed sooner or later, just a matter of time.
