SpaceX holds 8,285 BTC as it launches Starlink satellites and eyes $1.75T 2026 IPO

Blockchain analytics firm Arkham has identified a wallet holding 8,285 BTC (roughly $570–600 million depending on price) that it attributes to SpaceX, highlighting the company’s growing Bitcoin exposure as it continues rapidly scaling its Starlink satellite network and moves toward (or completes, depending on timing) a massive public listing around a $1.75 trillion valuation. Arkham’s post notes that SpaceX has just launched 29 additional Starlink satellites, contributing to a fleet of roughly 10,000 satellites in orbit, and frames SpaceX as one of the most significant potential public-market vehicles for indirect Bitcoin exposure. Context from IPO-focused analysis pieces indicates that SpaceX’s 2026 listing plans targeted raising on the order of $75 billion at about a $1.75 trillion valuation, positioning it among the largest IPOs in history and solidifying its status as a vertically integrated space and connectivity company spanning launch services, Starlink broadband, and AI infrastructure. These sources also describe Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset for SpaceX, reportedly held in institutional custody (e.g., Coinbase Prime) and viewed internally as a long-term hedge and part of a prospective “space economy” financial stack, which is why the size and transparency of its BTC holdings are closely watched by both equity and crypto market participants.
