SpaceX\u2019s remaining Bitcoin holding climbed above $1 billion when Bitcoin<\/a> hit fresh highs, but the rally cooled after a statement from the US Treasury.<\/p>\n

According to Arkham<\/a> Intelligence data reported by multiple outlets, the aerospace firm holds 8,285 BTC, worth about $1 billion at recent price levels.<\/p>\n

SpaceX Moves And Holdings<\/h2>\n

According to on-chain trackers, SpaceX<\/a> built up those coins between December 31, 2020, and June 10, 2022, and later moved a chunk of its earlier stash to Coinbase Prime in mid-2022.<\/p>\n

Recent on-chain activity shows the company relocated 1,308 BTC to a new address three weeks ago, a transfer that analysts treated as a shuffle rather than a sale.<\/p>\n

According to Arkham data, SpaceX\u2019s Bitcoin holdings have exceeded $1 billion. The company holds a total of 8,285 BTC, having first acquired Bitcoin on December 31, 2020, and making its last purchase on June 10, 2022, after which it has held the coins to date.\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/u54i0LUVkz<\/a><\/p>\n

Price Drop After Treasury Announcement<\/h2>\n

Based on reports<\/a>, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent \u2014 serving under US President Donald Trump \u2014 said the government will not be buying additional Bitcoin for its strategic reserve, and that comment weighed on crypto markets.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin fell from its roughly $124,000 peak and slipped below $119,000 in the hours after the disclosure. That drop trimmed market gains and cut the headline valuations of corporate holdings.<\/p>\n

Market Context And Past Reductions<\/p>\n

According to Arkham, SpaceX once held a much larger position \u2014 roughly 28,000 BTC at its April 2021 peak \u2014 and pared back the size of its on-chain balance during the market turmoil of 2022.<\/p>\n

The mid-2022 moves came amid shocks like the Terra-Luna collapse and the FTX bankruptcy, events that pushed many firms to rework crypto exposure. Those earlier shifts help explain why SpaceX\u2019s present on-chain total is smaller than the peak it carried.<\/p>\n


\nTesla And Combined Figures<\/p>\n

According to reports, Tesla continues to hold 11,509 BTC, worth about $1.4 billion at current prices. Combined, the two Musk-linked companies now hold roughly $2.42 billion in Bitcoin on paper, a figure that depends entirely on the price snapshot used to value the coins.<\/p>\n

Reports say the Treasury\u2019s plan to rely on confiscated crypto for any government reserve rather than buying new BTC could keep selling pressure off the market short term, but price action will follow many signals \u2014 macro moves, on-chain flows, and public remarks from big holders.<\/p>\n

According to multiple reports, SpaceX\u2019s remaining 8,285 BTC is worth about $1.02 billion, but that headline number is now sensitive to fast price swings after the Treasury\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n
