Elon Musk’s SpaceX is moving bitcoin for the first time in six months

SpaceX (SPCX) apparently moved bitcoin over its wallets early Wednesday for the first time in about six months in three transfers totaling less than $300 of its $1.16 billion holdings, signaling no imminent selling.

Data from Arkham Intelligence shows that the largest transfer across addresses labeled as belonging to the company moved 0.00213 BTC, about $135, between two wallets. Another sent 0.00139 BTC, or about $89.

In the third, Coinbase Prime’s escrow service added a SpaceX address with 0.000738 BTC, about $47, the kind of small amount an exchange sends to cover network fees before a larger transaction can go through.

SpaceX went public on June 12 in the largest IPO ever, and its filing put the company’s full bitcoin position on a public balance sheet for the first time. Small movements can attract attention after an IPO, although none of the coins reached a deposit address and none left SpaceX’s control.

The company still has 18,712 BTC. Transfers of this size are usually routine maintenance: funding a wallet to pay fees, consolidating coins across addresses, or testing a signing setup before moving a real balance.
