That ranking is set to become official once the company completes its IPO, which would push it past several well-known names in the corporate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/bitcoin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bitcoin<\/a> space.<\/p>\n<h2>Bigger Than Tesla<\/h2>\n<p>SpaceX\u2019s stash also puts it ahead of Tesla, the electric vehicle company also led by Elon Musk. Tesla holds 11,509 Bitcoin \u2014 roughly 7,000 fewer coins.<\/p>\n<p>Both companies began buying Bitcoin around the same time. Reports indicate SpaceX started accumulating the cryptocurrency in early 2021, right around when Tesla made its own move into digital assets. The parallel timing suggests Bitcoin adoption across Musk\u2019s companies was no coincidence.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-681519\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a_3cba84.png?resize=959%2C270\" alt=\"\" width=\"959\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a_3cba84.png?w=959 959w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a_3cba84.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a_3cba84.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a_3cba84.png?w=750 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 959px) 100vw, 959px\"><\/p>\n<p>The IPO itself carries numbers that are hard to ignore. SpaceX is aiming to raise around $75 billion, with an estimated company valuation ranging from $1.75 trillion to $2 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>If achieved, it would rank as the largest public offering in capital markets history. The company says it is targeting what it described in its filing as the largest addressable market in human history \u2014 a $28.5 trillion opportunity spanning artificial intelligence, space exploration, and global connectivity.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/4bp5MfDn\/\" width=\"1814\" height=\"921\"><br \/>\nA New Layer For Investors<\/p>\n<p>Once SpaceX begins trading, its stock will offer investors something beyond aerospace exposure. Owning shares would also mean indirect access to one of the largest corporate Bitcoin positions among public companies.<\/p>\n<p>That combination \u2014 rockets, satellites, AI ambitions, and a billion-dollar crypto holding \u2014 gives the offering a profile unlike most traditional IPOs.<\/p>\n<p>SpaceX joins a short list of major corporations that have moved Bitcoin onto their balance sheets in a meaningful way.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s filing makes clear the position was not a small experiment. Nearly 19,000 coins held over several years points to a deliberate, long-term strategy \u2014 one that was largely hidden from public view until now.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blockchain analysts had it wrong \u2014 by a wide margin.
