SpaceX moved another 1,021 bitcoin on Wednesday, worth about $94.5 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transfer<\/a> was split between two unlabeled addresses via Coinbase Prime custody. One address received 614 BTC, the other 407 BTC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This marks the ninth such transfer<\/a> by SpaceX this year. Recent movements total around 8,910 BTC, valued near $924 million. Analysts say the company is consolidating its holdings and upgrading from legacy bitcoin addresses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SpaceX\u2019s bitcoin holdings were tagged on-chain by Arkham Intelligence. The company currently controls about 3,991 BTC, worth roughly $367 million at current prices. Holdings have fluctuated over the past several years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The total once peaked above $1.6 billion during the 2021 bull market. In mid-2022, SpaceX<\/a> reportedly reduced its stake by about 70% after shocks from the Terra-Luna collapse, FTX bankruptcy, and market-wide turbulence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SpaceX has made no public statement about the transactions. Tesla, another Elon Musk-run company<\/a>, currently holds 11,509 BTC, worth about $1.24 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SpaceX IPO?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The bitcoin reshuffle comes as SpaceX advances plans for a massive initial public offering. Bloomberg reported<\/a> the company aims to raise more than $30 billion in its IPO. The target valuation is near $1.5 trillion, potentially surpassing Saudi Aramco\u2019s record $29 billion fundraise in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SpaceX\u2019s IPO could take place<\/a> as early as mid-to-late 2026. Sources say the timing could slip into 2027 depending on market conditions. If successful, it would be the largest listing in history by valuation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The offering would give investors exposure not only to rockets, satellites, and Starlink internet services but also to SpaceX\u2019s crypto holdings. Musk\u2019s companies were among the earliest institutional bitcoin adopters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SpaceX has also used dogecoin to fund its DOGE-1 lunar mission, highlighting Musk\u2019s influence in crypto markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prediction market data show growing confidence in SpaceX\u2019s valuation. Polymarket traders assign a 67% probability<\/a> that the IPO will exceed a $1 trillion market cap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IPO could provide capital for Starlink expansion, space-based data centers, and other ventures intersecting with AI and crypto infrastructure, according to Bloomberg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysts note the on-chain reshuffle aligns with the company\u2019s broader treasury strategy. Moving funds to modern addresses can reduce transaction costs, improve security, and consolidate management of multiple wallets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of SpaceX\u2019s remaining bitcoin is expected to be migrated as the consolidation completes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
