Elon Musk's Rocket Giant Has A Growing Shadow Market** ## SpaceX Joins Tesla SpaceX's Bitcoin holdings have attracted significant attention, with on‑chain data often indicating transfers. The latest filing added a stamp of confirmation. Notably, Musk's other company, **Tesla Inc.** (NASDAQ:TSLA), also owns a large Bitcoin position—11,509 BTC, currently worth more than $895 billion, according to on-chain data. Unlike SpaceX's filing, Tesla's quarterly reports do not explicitly mention Bitcoin. Musk said last year that Bitcoin is based on “energy,” categorizing it among "fundamental" currencies. ## An IPO Tsunami Ahead This disclosure comes as SpaceX gears up for its long-awaited IPO, which is expected to be the largest in market history. The company plans to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker SPCX. SpaceX is reportedly planning to raise around $75 billion at a valuation of nearly $1.75 trillion, a move that would make it the largest stock-market flotation in history **Price Action**: At the time of writing, BTC was exchanging hands at $77,963.82, up 6.02% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro. **Read Also: The 'Elon Musk Effect' Could Send SpaceX Stock Into Wild Swings After IPO Even If Starlink Makes 'Billions' In Profit, Warns Expert** _Photo Courtesy: IAB Studio on Shutterstock.com_ ### Related Stocks - [COIN.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/COIN.US.md) - [MARA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MARA.US.md) - [RIOT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/RIOT.US.md) - [HUT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HUT.US.md) - [MSTR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSTR.US.md) - [GBTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GBTC.US.md) - [SpaceX.NA](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SpaceX.NA.md) - [FBTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FBTC.US.md) - [MSTP.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSTP.US.md) - [MRAL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MRAL.US.md) - [MST.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MST.US.md) - [COIG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/COIG.US.md) - [MSTW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSTW.US.md) - [CONL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CONL.US.md) - [ARKB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ARKB.US.md) - [BITB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BITB.US.md) - [BTCO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCO.US.md) - [MSTU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSTU.US.md) - [LMBO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/LMBO.US.md) - [HODL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HODL.US.md) - [BTCW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCW.US.md) - [COIW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/COIW.US.md) - [BITO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BITO.US.md) - [IMRA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IMRA.US.md) - [EZBC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/EZBC.US.md) - [MSOO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSOO.US.md) - [IBIT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IBIT.US.md) - [BRRR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BRRR.US.md) - [MSTX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSTX.US.md) - [BTCHKD.VAHK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCHKD.VAHK.md) - [BTCUSD.VAHK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCUSD.VAHK.md) - [TSLA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLA.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Twenty One Capital Outlines Operating Plans to Build the Bitcoin Company | XXI Stock News](https://longbridge.com/en/news/287062741.md) - [Elon Musk explains why he cannot be fired from SpaceX](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286646258.md) - [Key facts: Zcash Foundation $36.7M; Jain Discloses Stake; Hayes 10% BTC](https://longbridge.com/en/news/287062810.md) - [Moon Inc.
