The disclosure places the company among the world’s largest corporate bitcoin holders, ahead of sister company Tesla by more than 7,000 BTC.
SpaceX has officially disclosed in a newly filed S 1 registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission that it currently holds approximately $1.293 billion worth of bitcoin on its balance sheet.
The filing marks the first time the company has publicly detailed its cryptocurrency treasury strategy ahead of its highly anticipated initial public offering.
SpaceX Confirms Ownership of 18,712 BTC
According to the filing, SpaceX owns 18,712 BTC acquired at an average purchase price of roughly $35,324 per bitcoin. The total acquisition cost reportedly stood at around $661 million.
As of March 31, 2026, the market value of those holdings had risen to approximately $1.293 billion, representing unrealized gains of nearly 119 percent.
The company stated in the filing that it maintains ownership and control over its bitcoin holdings while relying on third party custodians to securely store the digital assets.
For years, Elon Musk has hinted at his companies’ interest in cryptocurrencies through public comments and social media activity. However, this filing represents the first formal confirmation that SpaceX directly holds bitcoin.
Prior to the disclosure, estimates of the company’s holdings had largely been based on blockchain analysis and speculation. Analysts tracking wallets linked through Arkham Intelligence had previously estimated the company owned around 8,285 BTC.
The newly revealed holdings now position SpaceX among the largest corporate bitcoin holders globally. According to data from Bitcoin Treasuries, the company ranks seventh worldwide, surpassing Tesla, which reportedly holds 11,509 BTC and ranks 13th.
Meanwhile, Strategy remains the largest corporate holder of bitcoin after recently acquiring an additional 24,869 BTC. The company’s total holdings now stand at 843,738 BTC.
SpaceX Moves Closer to Historic IPO
SpaceX is preparing for its long awaited public market debut and plans to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol SPCX next month.
The aerospace company reportedly aims to raise around $75 billion through the offering, with analysts estimating a valuation between $1.75 trillion and $2 trillion.
If achieved, the IPO would surpass the record setting 2019 public offering of Saudi Aramco, which raised $29.4 billion and remains the largest IPO in history.
In its prospectus released Wednesday, SpaceX stated that it sees a total addressable market valued at roughly $28.5 trillion and intends to focus on opportunities aligned with its scalable business model.
The filing also revealed that Musk is expected to retain approximately 85.1 percent of the company’s voting power after the listing, allowing him to maintain substantial control over major corporate decisions even after SpaceX becomes publicly traded.
Elsewhere in the crypto industry, Circle drew significant attention with its public debut last year. The issuer of the USDC stablecoin raised more than $1 billion during its IPO, which attracted strong demand from major investors including ARK Investment Management and BlackRock. The offering was reportedly oversubscribed by more than 25 times.#crypto#cryptonews https://coinsignals.nethttps://t.me/coinsignalpublic
