SpaceX Posts $5B Loss on xAI Integration, But the Bitcoin? Diamond Hands Stay Intact

SpaceX is sitting on 8,285 BTC worth $603 million in Coinbase Prime custody while somehow managing to post a nearly $5 billion loss for 2025, according to Arkham Intelligence data and a report from The Information. Turns out when you HODL through a bull market, your cost basis doesn't care about your quarterly earnings—only your enemies do, and they can't touch your keys.

The loss marks a dramatic reversal from roughly $8 billion in profit the prior year, even as revenue climbed to $18.5 billion. The culprit? Integrating Elon Musk's AI venture xAI, acquired in February, which apparently costs more than launching satellites into the void. Imagine explaining to your board that you're bleeding cash because your chatbot wants to know your feelings while your rocket company is printing money—classic Musk energy.

Bitcoin hodlers can rest easy—the position remains unchanged since mid-2024, making SpaceX the fourth-largest known corporate bitcoin holder behind Strategy, Marathon Digital, and Riot Platforms. For context, that's like being the fourth-largest yacht in a harbor full of crypto bros who definitely know how to captain a ship. Diamond hands don't flinch at $5 billion losses—they just check the BTC price on their flip phones and go back to sleep.

Transfer history shows the last significant movement was an internal rebalance roughly four months ago, with 614 BTC and 1,021 BTC shifting between SpaceX's own wallets. The company has stayed stable since mid-2024 after peaking above $1.6 billion during the October 2025 all-time high. Basically, SpaceX moved some coins around like a degen reorganizing their DeFi positions—same stack, different sleeve.

For a company posting a $5 billion loss and pushing toward an IPO, holding $603 million in bitcoin rather than cashing out to pad the balance sheet says something about how Musk views crypto as a treasury asset. Either that or he's just too busy launching cars into space to care about balance sheet optics—priorities.

SpaceX has filed for an IPO that would disclose its bitcoin position in public filings for the first time, potentially triggering a fair-value accounting decision under new FASB rules that took effect in late 2025. Soon every retail investor will know exactly how much skin SpaceX has in the Bitcoin game, and honestly? The market could use more companies treating BTC like a serious balance sheet asset instead of a side hustle.
