SpaceX has revealed it holds 18,712 Bitcoin (BTC) worth about $1.45 billion, far more than blockchain trackers previously estimated. The disclosure appeared in the company’s SEC registration statement filed ahead of its planned public listing and instantly reshaped the picture of corporate Bitcoin ownership. It also confirms that one of Elon Musk’s largest companies has quietly maintained a billion-dollar BTC position when much of the market was looking elsewhere.

SpaceX Reveals Much Larger Bitcoin Treasury

According to the filing, SpaceX owns and controls 18,712 BTC acquired at a total cost basis of approximately $661 million. The company maintains the holdings through third-party custodians, which explains why on-chain analysts had previously attributed only around 8,000 BTC to the company.

The newly disclosed figure is more than double those estimates and places SpaceX among the largest corporate Bitcoin holders globally.

Based on current market prices, the position is worth around $1.45 billion. The filing also shows the balance remained unchanged from the end of 2024, indicating that SpaceX neither added to nor reduced its Bitcoin exposure during the latest market cycle.

That makes SpaceX’s strategy notably different from companies such as Strategy, which continues buying Bitcoin regularly. Instead, the filing points to a long-term treasury allocation that has largely been left untouched.

At press time on May 21, BTC was changing hands at the price of $77,611.98, which indicates an increase of 0.4% on the day, a 2.7% drop across the past week, and an accumulated gain of 2.3% over the month, per the latest chart data.

IPO Filing Solves A Longstanding Bitcoin Mystery

The Bitcoin disclosure arrived as SpaceX moved forward with what could become the largest IPO in U.S. history. The company is reportedly targeting a valuation between $1.75 trillion and $2 trillion, and seeks to raise approximately $75 billion from public investors.

For the crypto market, this reveals the gap between publicly visible blockchain data and actual corporate holdings. Because a significant portion of SpaceX’s Bitcoin is held through custodial arrangements, the company’s true exposure remained hidden from most tracking platforms for years.

The filing offers no indication that SpaceX plans to increase or reduce its Bitcoin holdings after the listing. But it does confirm that Bitcoin remains a meaningful asset on the company’s balance sheet, which gives future shareholders indirect exposure to one of the largest corporate BTC treasuries outside the public crypto sector.
