The transaction is the first recorded outbound transfer since June 10, 2022, when it moved 3,505 BTC (worth $102 million at the time) to Coinbase.

The receiving wallet is unlabeled, and no onward movement has been observed.

According to Arkham, SpaceX still holds 6,977 BTC, valued at approximately $815 million. That puts the company among the largest corporate bitcoin holders globally, behind names like Strategy (MSTR) and Tesla (TSLA), another Musk-owned company.

It remains unclear whether this latest transfer signals a sale, internal treasury reallocation, or something else entirely.
