According to blockchain trackers and reporting by market outlets, SpaceX moved 1,215 BTC — roughly $133 million — into new wallet addresses late last week. The transfers were flagged by analytics firms on October 24, 2025. The company has not issued an explanation for the activity.
New Wallets Receive Large Transfers
Blockchain data shows the movement split into roughly 300 BTC (about $33 million) and 915 BTC (about $100 million).
Based on reports, the destination addresses are newly created or newly associated with the company and are not yet broadly labelled on public trackers.
On-chain records list timestamps and transaction IDs, but the transfers are otherwise standard Bitcoin transactions with typical fees.

SpaceX’s Known Holdings And Recent Transfers
Before these moves, wallets linked to SpaceX were reported to hold about 8,285 BTC, a stash valued at roughly $914 million when Bitcoin traded above $110,000.
The firm has engaged in large transfers before, and this action joins a string of high-value on-chain movements by corporate holders over the past year.
The size of the transfer and the profile of the sender drew immediate attention because SpaceX ranks among the larger private-company holders of Bitcoin.
No Public Explanation From SpaceX
SpaceX has not confirmed whether the transfers represent a sale, a custodial change, or an internal tidy-up of wallets. Reports have disclosed that analysts, watching the chain, tend to treat such moves as either custody rearrangements or preparatory steps for other activity.

Some observers say shifting coins between company-controlled addresses is a normal part of treasury management. Others warn that without a statement, market observers will assume the worst or the most market-sensitive option: liquidation.
Market Reaction And Wider Context
While the transfers did not prompt a major price shock, they did spark conversations and volatility in trading feeds.
Whale trackers and exchanges flagged the transfer for a short time, and some crypto commentators took note of timing while prices were near recent highs.
For investors, these are moves worth nothing. A large on-chain transfer from a corporate wallet changes the demand picture around available supply for sale, will continue to exist, even if the coins are ultimately still held in the company’s custody.
On-Chain Clues And Takeaways
Analysts identify a few clues on chain: the addresses are recently used, no immediate moves to exchanges, and the transfer is in multiple outputs.
These clues support the idea that the transaction is internal, meaning co-mingling coins from two cold storage wallets or simply moving coins to a new custodian.
Still, until SpaceX or a trusted representative comments, any explanation is provisional and should be treated cautiously.
