- SpaceX transferred $31.28 million in Bitcoin to new wallets, marking its third major transfer in ten days via Coinbase Prime Custody. - Blockchain analysts suggest the moves reflect internal restructuring rather than a sell-off, with funds directed to newly created addresses. - Market uncertainty persists as Bitcoin fluctuates near $111,000 amid Fed rate cuts and SpaceX's $2B+ combined crypto holdings with Tesla. - Analysts link volatility to Fed's data-dependent policy stance, with $179M in crypto long

SpaceX recently transferred 281

(BTC), worth about $31.28 million, into a new wallet. This marks the company’s third significant Bitcoin movement in less than ten days, as reported by . The transfer, which was processed via Prime Custody, follows earlier transactions this month involving 2,395 BTC and 1,215 BTC, bringing the total value of October’s transfers to more than $432 million, according to . Blockchain analysis firm Intelligence observed that these funds originated from a wallet associated with SpaceX and were sent to new addresses that only contain the received BTC, indicating internal fund management rather than a sale. SpaceX’s Bitcoin reserves, estimated between 6,900 and 7,000 BTC, continue to be held in cold storage, and there have been no outgoing transactions from these new wallets so far.

This activity has caught the attention of the market, especially as Bitcoin’s price remains volatile amid ongoing economic uncertainty. The Federal Reserve’s latest 25-basis-point rate reduction, setting the target range at 3.75%–4%, and the conclusion of quantitative tightening (QT) have not

a lasting upswing in the cryptocurrency market, according to . After the announcement, Bitcoin briefly fell to $109,200, a 6% decline from its recent peak above $115,000, as noted by . Experts point to the Federal Reserve’s mixed messaging—emphasizing a data-driven approach to future rate changes—as a factor behind the market’s uncertainty and lack of sustained optimism. Following the rate decision, over $179 million in long positions were liquidated across platforms such as Bybit and Hyperliquid, according to .

Although SpaceX’s recent transfers are largely viewed as part of routine custodial management—a pattern seen in previous quarters—there is ongoing speculation about possible sales or strategic changes, according to Crypto.News. Elon Musk’s vocal support for Bitcoin as the “future of money,” highlighting its value based on energy, has intensified interest in SpaceX’s crypto assets, as reported by Yahoo Finance. Together, Tesla, with 11,509 BTC valued at $1.25 billion, and SpaceX hold more than $2 billion in Bitcoin, ranking them among the largest corporate holders. Still, the absence of official statements from Musk or SpaceX has left investors relying on blockchain data for insights, per

.

The Federal Reserve’s policy changes and SpaceX’s Bitcoin transactions underscore the connection between macroeconomic trends and institutional crypto strategies. While the end of QT could eventually increase liquidity for riskier assets, short-term uncertainty remains. Traders are staying cautious, with Bitcoin consolidating around $111,000 and key support and resistance levels at $109,000 and $117,500, according to Coinotag. Market watchers are expected to monitor both SpaceX’s wallet activity and future Fed announcements to assess Bitcoin’s direction.
