Elon Musk’s premier enterprises might soon consolidate $2.1 billion worth of bitcoin under a single corporate entity, representing a minor fraction of their combined $3.4 trillion equity valuation.
Bloomberg reported on Thursday, referencing individuals acquainted with the situation, that SpaceX and Tesla could potentially unveil a merger as early as December, although the formal announcement could also be pushed into the beginning of 2027.
Such an agreement would unite approximately 30,220 bitcoin. Based on their respective quarterly filings, SpaceX held 18,712 BTC at the conclusion of September, while Tesla maintained 11,509. Both corporations indicated that these quantities remained unaltered since December 2025.
Evaluated at bitcoin’s Friday valuation near $69,000, this amounts to roughly $2.1 billion. This total is trivial compared to the approximately $3.4 trillion aggregate worth of the two entities, where SpaceX commands a valuation exceeding $1.9 trillion following its June initial public offering, and Tesla sits at roughly $1.5 trillion. The digital assets represent roughly 0.06% of that total capitalization.
Simply executing the merger would not necessitate either firm to acquire additional bitcoin, as it merely pools assets already existing on their balance sheets.
This aggregate sum exceeds the figures calculated when CoinDesk initially analyzed the statistics in January. At that time, publicly monitored addresses suggested roughly 20,000 BTC existed between the two, with SpaceX estimated to own approximately 8,285 coins. Subsequent disclosures from SpaceX revealed a stockpile of 18,712, a reserve it already controlled at the close of 2025, meaning the increase stems from improved financial transparency.
Artificial intelligence serves as a core motivation behind the discussions, according to Bloomberg, with strategic visions encompassing aerospace engineering, autonomous vehicles, and bipedal robotics.
A primary challenge involves determining how to adequately divide Tesla’s extensive Chinese production facilities from the confidential United States government and defense contracts handled by SpaceX.
The board of directors at Tesla has established a specialized independent committee to evaluate the feasibility of a consolidation. Regulatory documents indicate that any potential transaction demands a favorable recommendation from this panel along with mandatory shareholder authorization. Tesla has set its annual shareholder gathering for December 3.
