A wallet tied to SpaceX just transferred 1,083 BTC - nearly $100 million - to what appears to be a new custody address, likely on Coinbase Prime.
The move marks the latest in a series of large Bitcoin transfers by the company, underscoring a deliberate shift in how it manages its crypto treasury.
What Happened
Blockchain-data watchers at on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain flagged the 1,083 BTC transfer earlier today - at roughly $99.8 million at current prices.
This is not an isolated event. Less than two weeks ago, SpaceX moved 1,163 BTC (≈ $105 million) to a Coinbase Prime-linked wallet.
Overall, the pattern shows SpaceX systematically reallocating significant Bitcoin holdings from legacy wallets to new custody wallets over recent months.

Why It Matters
The frequency and scale of these transfers suggest SpaceX is not preparing for an immediate sell-off - instead, it seems to be reorganizing and securing its crypto holdings under institutional-grade custody.
Experts point to custody platforms such as Coinbase Prime as offering stronger security, better compliance, and more robust infrastructure than self-custody wallets.
Moving large BTC blocks into professional custody also reduces operational risk. It increases transparency and aligns with evolving regulatory expectations for corporate crypto holdings. For a high-profile company like SpaceX, such repositioning signals a maturation of its digital asset strategy.
Institutional custody tends to support long-term holding, ease accounting and auditing, and provide safeguards against theft or mismanagement.
As institutional adoption deepens across the crypto industry, high-volume transfers like this become bellwethers. SpaceX’s repeated BTC relocations underscore how major corporations are increasingly treating Bitcoin not as a speculative asset, but as part of a professionally managed treasury.
