Spacex has first shocked on -Chen Ladders in more than three years, sent to 1,308 bitcoins – which is about $ 153 million at today’s market rate – a fresh, unlenisted segwit address. “13:09 (UTC+8) today, spacex, labled address 15okq7 … i7JF1G, 1,308 BTC (about $ 153 million) to BC1Q8k … Phartf,” Pahartf, “shifted to the Chinese market,” said the Chinese market Wu Blockchain said, the Chinese market Wu Blockchain said, Arakham Intelligence Casted the Activities.
Arkham’s portfolio page suggests that coins had neutralized a wallet from the middle of 22022. Confirm on to chain data that no attempt was made to set the UTXO set or root funds through the mediators, suggests an internal revaluation rather than a liquidation.
Spacex moves $ 153m in bitcoin – what revenge?
The last time SpaceX’s Treasury did an outbound move on 10 June 2022, when 3,505 BTC -then price of about 102 million dollars – the coinbase was sent to the coinbase, a transfer that matches Tesla’s decision to sell three are quarters of his bitcoin situation a month later. Since then, the aerospace company’s holdings have reduced it from 8,285 BTC Arkham in March 2024, but it still retains 6,977 BTCs, which is valuable near $ 815 million at the current spot price.
Arkham has repeatedly implicated the corporate balance sheet of Elon Musk as a single macro bet on Digital Gold. In a tweet of June 27, the analytics firm reminded the followers that “Tesla and SpaceX staked more than $ 2 billion of BTC. They bought it at an average price of ~ $ 32K.” On Tuesday, with a bitcoin of about $ 117,000, this basis of mixed costs turns into an unrealistic profit of about 270 percent.
Market Cheater has compulsorily worked on the purpose. Because the destination address has not spent a satoshi, many desk analysts have read the transfer as a custodian reshuffle, possibly in cold storage or a separate multicing structure – especially the XAPOs were replaced as a preferred institutional guardian last year after the coinbase Prime.
Time is specific. Bitcoin today printed a new time of $ 122,800 on 18 July before slipping back to a handle of $ 117,000. A treasury movement of this size at a high value level can catalyze rumors of a adjacent sales, yet, does not confirm such fears on chain behavior yet.
In particular, Spacex has never revealed its digital ET Asset strategy beyond the confirmation of Musk’s 2021 that the firm has bitcoin with Tesla. Tuesday’s transfer revives an familiar question: Does any company whose main mission is interplennary logistics, eventually mudification of its piles, or will it follow the “permanent reserve” philosophy of the microstaret?
For now, this step appears to be operational rather than directional. Coins are moving forward, but not on the market. Until the recipient’s address starts peeling output towards the exchange clusters, an accounting footnote is likely to remain in the episode – although the value of nine digits and a reminder that rockets also require cold wallets in terms of fiat.
At the press time, BTC traded at $ 119,394.
