Elon Musk’s SpaceX Moves Bitcoin for the First Time in Six Months

SpaceX (SPCX) apparently moved Bitcoin in his wallets early Wednesday for the first time in about six months in three transfers totaling less than $300 of his $1.16 billion holdings that signal no imminent sales.

Data from Arkham Intelligence shows that the largest transfer between addresses labeled as owned by the company moved 0.00213 BTC, or approximately $135, between two wallets. A second sent 0.00139 BTC, or approximately $89.

In the third case, Coinbase Prime’s custody service topped a SpaceX address with 0.000738 BTC, or about $47, the kind of small amount an exchange sends to cover network fees before a larger transaction can be made.

SpaceX went public on June 12 in the largest IPO on record, and its filing put the company’s entire Bitcoin position on a public balance sheet for the first time. Small movements can attract attention after a stock is listed, even if none of the coins have reached a depository address on an exchange and none have left SpaceX’s control.

The company still holds 18,712 BTC. Transfers of this size typically constitute routine maintenance: funding a wallet to pay fees, consolidating coins between addresses, or testing a signature setup before moving an actual balance.
