I don't understand. What's wrong?

$ wc -c </dev/sda1
12582912000

$ echo '12582912000 / (1024*1024)' | bc
12000

$ ./sfdisk -uM -l /dev/sda | egrep 'sda1|MiB'
Units = 1MiB, blocks of 1024*1024 bytes, counting from 0
   Device Boot Start   End    MiB    #blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *     1  12000  12000   12288000   83  Linux

Have a nice day,
Berny
