SpaceX Adjusts BTC Holdings Ahead Of Potential IPO

SpaceX has just transferred 94 million dollars in bitcoin, according to on-chain data analyzed by Arkham Intelligence. These movements are part of a series of regular transfers observed over the past two months, after several years of inactivity. They occur as information points to a possible IPO of the company in 2026, with a valuation that could reach 1.5 trillion dollars. This coincidence raises questions about SpaceX’s financial strategy and the role bitcoin could play in it.

SpaceX moves 94 million dollars in bitcoin

Last Wednesday, SpaceX made a transfer of 1,021 BTC, equivalent to about 94 million dollars, to two separate addresses, after a transfer of 1,215 BTC to unidentified new wallets in October .

These addresses were identified by Arkham Intelligence, specializing in on-chain analysis, as belonging to Elon Musk’s company. The funds were divided into two transactions : 407 BTC on one side, 614 BTC on the other.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Arkham said : “SpaceX just transferred 94 million dollars in BTC. They have been moving about 100 million dollars in BTC every week for about two months”. This data, verifiable on the blockchain, confirms unusual and sustained activity on the company’s Bitcoin wallets.

These transfers are part of a new dynamic, breaking with several years of inactivity. Here are the key points to remember :

• Weekly transfers of about 100 million dollars in BTC observed for two months, according to Arkham Intelligence ;
• Three years of inactivity preceding these operations: SpaceX’s BTC wallets had not moved since at least 2021 ;
• A reduction in BTC holdings : SpaceX held up to 25,000 BTC in 2022, compared to 8,285 BTC today , about 770 million dollars.

This significant change raises questions about the company’s real objectives. Although the precise reasons for these transfers are unknown, their regularity and scale do not go unnoticed in the crypto community.

An imminent IPO : Is SpaceX adjusting its treasury in anticipation of a stock market entry ?

These repeated transfers come as Bloomberg mentions a potential SpaceX IPO in 2026, a deal that could raise 30 billion dollars for a valuation of 1.5 trillion dollars.

While no public statement has been made by Elon Musk or SpaceX regarding this, the coincidence between Bitcoin wallet activity and IPO rumors fuels speculation. To date, there is no formal indication that BTC movements are related to any preparatory operation for going public.

Nevertheless, if SpaceX became a publicly traded company, it would rank 14th worldwide among the largest bitcoin holders. This unique position in the realm of publicly traded companies could offer a differentiating advantage, particularly to institutional investors sensitive to cryptocurrencies.

At the same time, the recent evolution of the bitcoin price , currently around $90,237, up from its November low but still 27 % below its all-time high, provides a particular context to this strategy. A BTC portfolio valued at over 700 million dollars could become an asset of attraction in an IPO prospectus, although there is no indication of this at this stage.
