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%.

- 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.

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.

Tesla reports after Wednesday's close, with analysts expecting revenue of $28.13 billion and adjusted EPS of 44 cents.

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.

- Trump to throw spotlight on overseas crypto abuses at White House event
President Donald Trump is set to highlight his administration's efforts to pursue overseas crypto criminals at a White House cybercrime event on Wednesday, according to an official. U.S. law enforcement has halted about $833 million in crypto tied to overseas scams, and 503 fraudulent crypto websites have been seized under the Homeland Security Task Force. Authorities have also informed almost 9,000 U.S. citizens that they are being victimized. The transnational criminal organizations behind these scams have stolen tens of billions of dollars from Americans, and the Treasury formed a multi-agency Scam Center Strike Force in November. Meanwhile, Trump's personal crypto ties may have become a political liability as the midterm elections approach in a couple of weeks.

- Chainlink, Cardano, other blockchain groups push SEC for clearer crypto rules
Six major blockchain organizations, including Chainlink Labs, Cardano Foundation, Hedera, Aptos Labs, Ava Labs and Stellar Development Foundation, urged the SEC in a joint letter dated Oct. 20 to formally classify digital commodities as non-securities. They argued that interpretive guidance alone leaves legal uncertainty, and that this classification should be written directly into the proposed Regulation Crypto Assets framework. The letter also asks for clarity on how securities laws apply to secondary-market transactions, as well as on staking and other activities tied to decentralized blockchain networks. The SEC's proposal, introduced in August, drew roughly 140 public comments over 60 days, and the consultation closed on Tuesday.
- Government to submit new resolution on wage policy to Central Committee
Deputy Prime Minister Phạm Thị Thanh Trà said during a group discussion on the afternoon of Oct. 21 on laws covering labor, employment and social insurance that the Government is drafting a proposal to report to the Political Bureau. The proposal is expected to go to the Central Committee at its Fifth Plenum to issue a new resolution on wage and social insurance policy, replacing Resolutions No. 27-NQ/TW and No. 28-NQ/TW. According to the Deputy Prime Minister, the current amendment to the Social Insurance Law mainly addresses immediate issues such as expanding coverage, while a more fundamental and comprehensive revision will follow the new resolution. For the Employment Law, the focus is cutting unnecessary licenses and reviewing rules on labor leasing, though simplifying procedures does not mean loosening management. Lawmakers also raised rules on depositing funds in joint-stock commercial banks with state capital, and the Government aims for safety, sustainability and timely payment of benefits.
- No, I'm Not Selling You My Netflix Stock Today
Netflix shares opened lower on Wednesday after its third-quarter report beat on revenue and earnings, but the outlook for the next quarter disappointed. Revenue rose 11.8% to $12.87 billion and earnings climbed 44% to $0.87 per share, yet Netflix guided fourth-quarter revenue up 11.5% to $13.4 billion and net income up just 15% to $0.67 per share, below the $0.73 analysts expected. Earlier this month, Netflix cut 6% of its workforce, and several executives, including its chief content officer and head of film, left the company. The stock hit a two-year low after losing almost half its value over the past year, and the author notes it trades at less than 17 times forward earnings while value investors debate whether it is a value trap.
