Analysts believe SpaceX is consolidating its Bitcoin holdings with these transactions, transitioning from legacy wallets to more modern ones. The company reportedly currently holds approximately 6,970 BTC, worth approximately $770 million.
SpaceX sold off approximately 70% of its Bitcoin holdings after the Terra-Luna crash and FTX bankruptcy that shook the cryptocurrency market in mid-2022. There is no evidence of any new purchases since then.
