Elon Musk's SpaceX Moves Bitcoin, Selloff Coming amid SPCX Stock Fell 25%?

Elon Musk’s SpaceX Wallet Transfers Bitcoin

According to Arkham Intelligence data on July 8, a wallet address linked to Elon Musk’s SpaceX moved Bitcoin for the first time in six months. The transfer triggered selling speculations despite the firm moved just $88 worth of BTC.

The firm last moved more than 1016 BTC worth nearly $100 million. SpaceX wallet still holds almost 18,712 BTC, valued at $1.16 billion at the current market price. Notably, the destination address now holds 614 BTC worth $38 million.

Outflows from SpaceX to other unknown wallets increased significantly last year near the October 10 crypto market crash. The transfers gradually stopped as the firm’s focus switched to its SpaceX IPO.

The latest transfer comes amid Bitcoin selling by digital asset treasuries such as Michael Saylor’s Strategy, MARA Holdings, Nakamoto Holdings, and Sequans Communications. Last week, Michael Saylor’s Strategy announced Bitcoin sale worth $216 million.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin price is trading above $62K, almost 2% lower amid renewed US-Iran strikes. President Trump cast doubt on the future of the cease-fire with Iran after both sides traded attacks, saying “I think it’s over.”

SPCX Stock Extends Fall to 25%

SPCX stock closed 6.83% lower at $149.47 on Tuesday, falling to an intraday low of $148.86 amid massive profit booking. The stock price has dropped below its IPO debut price.

The stock dropped despite Elon Musk-led space exploration and AI company SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100. While it sparked long-term bullish sentiment among investors due to potential influx of investments, but stock remains under selling pressure.

SpaceX stock is now down more than 25% within just a month. The stock has climbed 0.49% in premarket trading hours on Wednesday.

As CoinGape reported, Wall Street firms, including Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup, initiated coverage of SPCX stock, setting higher price targets. Morgan Stanley analysts are extremely bullish on Elon Musk’s SpaceX stock, setting a price target of $300.
