SpaceX’s IPO filing on Wednesday revealed many striking details about the company’s finances, including its sizable bitcoin holding.<\/p>\n

According to the firm’s S-1 \u2014 the SEC form that officially begins the IPO process \u2014 the company owns 18,712 bitcoin units. Bitcoin was trading at just over $77,000 on Thursday morning, giving SpaceX’s crypto pile a value of roughly $1.45 billion and paper gains of about $789 million.<\/p>\n

The S-1 shows that SpaceX bought the bitcoin for $661 million, meaning the value of each unit of the cryptocurrency at the time of purchase was roughly $35,000. Bitcoin last traded at $35,000 in November 2023. In August that year, it was reported that SpaceX had sold a significant chunk of its bitcoin holdings.<\/p>\n

CEO and founder Elon Musk has long been an advocate of digital currencies, backing the viral meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin, and holding a large chunk of bitcoin in the coffers of Tesla.<\/p>\n

In a first-quarter filing, Tesla said it held more than 11,000 bitcoins, valued at close to $900 million at Thursday’s prices.<\/p>\n

In early 2025, Tesla reported a major boost to its quarterly profits, driven by a surge in bitcoin prices, which pushed income in the final quarter of 2024 up by $600 million.<\/p>\n

While SpaceX’s bitcoin pile is substantial, it pales in comparison to those held by some firms. The largest corporate holder of bitcoin \u2014 business intelligence giant Strategy Inc. \u2014 holds more than 843,000 bitcoin, worth more than $64 billion.<\/p>\n

Musk has embraced the meme side of cryptocurrencies, stating in 2021 that SpaceX would “put a literal Dogecoin on the literal moon.”<\/p>\n

The rocket company hasn’t done so yet, but it is aiming to establish a permanent presence on the moon. Its S-1 filing outlined an even bolder pay package target for Musk: setting up a human colony on Mars with “at least one million inhabitants.”<\/p>\n
