SpaceX is preparing to submit a confidential IPO application to the U.S. SEC as early as March, aiming for a June listing, with a valuation potentially exceeding $1.75 trillion and a fundraising target of up to $50 billion, which could break the $29 billion IPO record set by Saudi Aramco in 2019.On-chain data shows that SpaceX currently holds approximately 8,285 bitcoins through Coinbase Prime, with a market value of about $545 million at current prices. Compared to last December when bitcoin was around $92,500, corresponding to a market value of about $780 million, the value has shrunk by approximately $235 million over three months. If the IPO is successful, SpaceX will disclose the unrealized gains or losses related to bitcoin in its S-1 filing and subsequent financial reports, facing similar volatility risks and public scrutiny regarding crypto assets as Tesla. Historical data indicates that SpaceX's bitcoin holdings have experienced a significant pullback since reaching nearly $2 billion at their peak in 2021, with the market value fluctuating mainly between $400 million and $800 million over the past two years, during which no significant selling has been observed.

If successful, it would break the $29 billion IPO record set by Saudi Aramco in 2019.Data shows that the company's bitcoin holdings have remained around 8,300 since early 2026, but the book value has fluctuated significantly due to the BTC price correction. At the end of 2021, its BTC holdings peaked at nearly $2 billion, followed by a decline during the 2022 bear market, fluctuating between $400 million and $800 million over the past two years.Market participants point out that once the S-1 filing is submitted, SpaceX will need to disclose its exposure to related crypto assets, and future financial reports may reflect the book profit and loss risks arising from bitcoin price fluctuations. Previously, Tesla had drawn market attention multiple times due to similar book value fluctuations. However, on-chain data does not indicate that SpaceX has engaged in active trading; unlike Tesla, which has conducted buy and sell operations, SpaceX appears to prefer a long-term holding strategy.

According to Crowdfund Insider, Joseph Lubin, founder and CEO of Consensys and co-founder of Ethereum, recently shared his views on the current state and future trajectory of the cryptocurrency market during an interview in Hong Kong. Lubin expressed a cautiously optimistic outlook. He emphasized that the digital asset economy is continuously evolving, driven by functional utility rather than pure speculative forces.When discussing Bitcoin, Lubin believes it should not be viewed as a traditional safe-haven asset at this stage.

In contrast, he highlighted that Ethereum's native cryptocurrency, ETH, has a stronger functional demand.Lubin believes that the practicality of ETH in driving decentralized applications, smart contracts, and broader ecosystem activities gives it an advantage in real-world adoption compared to Bitcoin's main narrative. He emphasized Ethereum's enduring importance in the evolving financial infrastructure.He pointed out that institutional participation is deepening, with major banks, trading platforms, and financial networks increasingly building on Ethereum-based technologies and layer two scaling solutions. He stated that this momentum at the institutional level indicates that even amid market fluctuations, Ethereum is transitioning towards becoming the next-generation financial foundation.Overall, Lubin's remarks reflect confidence in Ethereum's long-term potential under short-term market pressures. He portrayed the ecosystem as resilient and innovative, with tools like Ethereum and MetaMask poised to drive meaningful progress in the digital economy.
