This corporate strategy and rising BTC demand are generating curiosity about how their investment returns have been lately. Let’s discuss.
SpaceX Bitcoin Holding Hit $1.02B as Price Hits $124.4k
Elon Musk’s SpaceX is among the first few companies to adopt the Bitcoin buying strategy. From their first purchase on December 31, 2020, to their last acquisition on June 10, 2022, the firm has acquired 8,285 BTC, per Arkham Intelligence, worth $1.0B today, as BTC price hits new ATH.
Notably, the count was even higher (28,000 BTC), but they reduced nearly 70% of the holding in the 2022 market turmoil, including the FTX crash and Terra-Luna collapse.
Interestingly, Musk’s Tesla firm also holds a significant amount of BTC, totaling 11,509, worth $1.42 billion. Together, these two have $2.4B worth of Bitcoin holdings.
Top Bitcoin Buyers and Their Holdings
The biggest Bitcoin holder in the world is Satoshi Nakamoto, the figure behind this digital asset. Nakamoto is estimated to hold 1.1M BTC, making him worth more than $133 billion, among the richest men on earth.
