- SpaceX transferred $31.28M in Bitcoin to a new wallet via Coinbase, marking its third major October transfer totaling $432M. - Blockchain analysts suggest the activity reflects internal custody reorganization, not a sale, with no exchange-bound transactions detected. - Market volatility followed as Bitcoin dipped 2.12% amid Fed rate uncertainty, despite SpaceX holding 6,900–7,000 BTC valued at $760M. - Musk's public Bitcoin endorsements and Tesla's $1.25B BTC stake heighten speculation, though SpaceX has

SpaceX, under the leadership of Elon Musk, has once again shifted a notable amount of its

assets, reigniting discussions about its approach to digital currencies. On October 30, the company moved 281 Bitcoin (BTC), worth about $31.28 million, to a fresh wallet through Prime Custody. This marks the third substantial Bitcoin transaction by SpaceX in less than ten days. Previously, the company transferred 2,395 BTC ($268 million) on October 19 and 1,215 BTC ($134 million) on October 24. Altogether, SpaceX has shifted over $432 million in Bitcoin this October, according to a .

According to blockchain intelligence provider

Intelligence, the most recent transfer originated from a wallet associated with SpaceX and was sent to a newly generated address. Since these movements began, the receiving wallets have not shown any outgoing transactions. This repeated pattern—creating new addresses, utilizing Coinbase Prime, and the lack of exchange deposits—indicates that SpaceX is likely reorganizing its internal custody rather than preparing for a sale, as highlighted in a . On-chain analysts have previously attributed similar activity to adjustments for security or accounting purposes.

Even with these indications, the timing has made the market more reactive. Following the transfers, Bitcoin's value dropped to $108,000, a 2.12% decrease at the time of the October 30 transaction, amid ongoing economic uncertainty. Comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell during a policy meeting—hinting that a rate cut in December was not assured—added further pressure to the crypto sector, according to a

. Experts have observed that large institutional transfers, even when not linked to selling, can cause short-term price swings as traders interpret their significance, as noted in a .

With an estimated 6,900 to 7,000 BTC, SpaceX ranks among the top institutional Bitcoin holders worldwide. Its parent company, Tesla, still owns 11,509 BTC—valued at $1.25 billion—after selling 75% of its Bitcoin acquired in 2021 during the following year. Musk’s recent public support for Bitcoin, calling attention to its “energy-based” value, has fueled further curiosity about SpaceX’s actions, according to a

. Nevertheless, SpaceX has not released any official explanation for these transfers.

This October activity comes after SpaceX marked down $373 million in Bitcoin holdings between 2021 and 2022, reportedly reducing its reserves by 70% during the Terra-Luna and FTX crises, as detailed in a

. While some analysts believe these recent moves could be in preparation for partial sales, others point out that the lack of exchange-bound transactions suggests SpaceX is maintaining its long-term position, as reported by Crypto.News.

With Bitcoin trading near $110,000, the relationship between corporate asset management and broader economic trends remains a key concern for investors. As Musk’s companies collectively hold $2.04 billion in BTC and the Federal Reserve’s policy outlook remains uncertain, the cryptocurrency market is expected to stay alert for new developments, according to Yahoo Finance.
