- Tesla held onto its bitcoin in Q3 as speculation of SpaceX merger grows
Tesla did not sell any of its Bitcoin in the third quarter, and its crypto holdings rose 42% to 962 million. The after-tax gain of 224 million, about 28.5% of the quarter's profit, came against net income of 787 million. Tesla holds 11,509 Bitcoin and SpaceX holds 18,712; the presenter notes that a merger would combine 30,221 Bitcoin and rank sixth among public companies by Bitcoin holdings. The two companies have now formed a special committee for the merger.
- Musk's SpaceX-Tesla Merger Would Create a Bitcoin Treasury Behemoth
Elon Musk said the boards of SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees of independent directors to weigh a merger, while cautioning that a deal is not a certainty. Combined, the two would hold 30,221 BTC, worth roughly $2.5 billion at a Bitcoin price near $83,000, making it one of the largest non-mining corporate Bitcoin treasuries. Tesla reported 11,509 BTC in its latest quarterly filing, while SpaceX disclosed 18,712 BTC in its S-1 ahead of its June IPO, a stash largely invisible to public markets and more than double previous blockchain-tracker estimates. The combined cost basis is around $1 billion, implying an average buy price near $35,000 per coin. A merger would not change Bitcoin itself but would alter governance and accounting, placing the holdings in one public company subject to quarterly disclosures; neither company has signaled plans to buy or sell.
- SpaceX and Tesla Are Exploring a Merger That Would Hold 30,000 BTC. What Could It Mean for Bitcoin?
Elon Musk confirmed that SpaceX and Tesla have each formed special committees to evaluate a potential merger, which would combine around 30,000 Bitcoin under one company. No terms have been agreed, and neither company has disclosed the merger price, exchange ratio, structure or timeline, or broken down its BTC holdings. At current prices, 30,000 BTC is worth about $2.5 billion, roughly 0.073% of the combined market value of both companies. The article argues a merger would only consolidate existing coins and create new demand if the combined company buys more, and that it could use Bitcoin as a source of funds if needed. Polymarket puts the chance of an official announcement by December 31 at 19.5%.
- A SpaceX And Tesla Merger Would Consolidate 30,000 Bitcoin
Elon Musk confirmed that SpaceX (SPCX) and Tesla (TSLA) are exploring a merger, with special committees formed at both companies to assess it. The combined company would hold 30,221 Bitcoin, including SpaceX's reported 18,712 BTC and Tesla's 11,509 BTC, worth about $2.5 billion. The comments came during SpaceX's third-quarter earnings call, where revenue rose 161% year-over-year to $14.58 billion and EPS of $0.35 beat the $0.13 Wall Street forecast. The stock, which had fallen 8% since its June IPO to $158.59 per share, rose nearly 10% after the report.
- SpaceX and Tesla explore merger that would unite more than 30,000 bitcoin
Elon Musk, CEO and shareholder of both companies, said on Tuesday that SpaceX and Tesla are exploring a potential merger, with special committees of independent directors assessing a tie-up. Combined, the two companies would hold 30,221 BTC (SpaceX 18,712 BTC, Tesla 11,509 BTC), but the committees have not agreed on any transaction terms. Musk said his interests in both companies keep him out of committee discussions and that shareholders would need to support any deal. SpaceX shares rose about 9% to $161 in premarket trading after revenue of $14.58 billion beat the $12.7 billion consensus and EPS of 35 cents beat the 15-cent forecast. Tesla reports after Wednesday's close, with analysts expecting revenue of $28.13 billion and adjusted EPS of 44 cents.
- Musk says SpaceX-Tesla merger a 'good idea' as AI revenue jumps ninefold
Elon Musk said on SpaceX’s third-quarter earnings call that a merger with Tesla would be “a good idea,” a deal that could create a roughly $3.5 trillion company combining AI, space and electric vehicles. Both companies have formed special committees of independent directors at shareholders’ request, and Musk said he cannot take part due to his conflict, adding that no terms have been agreed and a Tesla vote would need 50% of all shares. SpaceX’s revenue rose 161% to $14.6 billion, with its Super Intelligence segment generating $7.6 billion, up 830%, to become its largest revenue source. A combined company would hold about 30,221 BTC, based on SpaceX’s 18,712 BTC and Tesla’s 11,509 BTC as of June 30, making it the sixth-largest public Bitcoin treasury.
