Elon Musk’s SpaceX moves bitcoin for the first time in six months

Share This Post

SpaceX (SPCX) apparently moved bitcoin across its wallets early Wednesday for the first time in about six months in three transfers totaling less than $300 of its $1.16 billion holding that don’t signal any impending sales.

Data from Arkham Intelligence shows the largest transfer across addresses tagged as belonging to the company moved 0.00213 BTC, about $135, between two wallets. A second sent 0.00139 BTC, or about $89.

In the third, Coinbase Prime’s custody service topped up a SpaceX address with 0.000738 BTC, around $47, the kind of small amount an exchange sends to cover network fees before a larger transaction can go through.

SpaceX went public on June 12 in the largest IPO on record, and its filing put the company’s full bitcoin position on a public balance sheet for the first time. Small movements can draw attention after a share listing even though none of the coins reached an exchange deposit address and none left SpaceX’s control.

The company still holds 18,712 BTC. Transfers this size are usually routine maintenance: funding a wallet to pay fees, consolidating coins across addresses or testing a signing setup before moving a real balance.
