Key points

• •SpaceX disclosed in SEC IPO filings that it holds approximately $1.45 billion in Bitcoin, including 18,712 BTC, and conducts weekly Bitcoin transactions around $100 million, alongside Tesla’s 11,509 BTC reserve.

• •Long-term Bitcoin holders now control over 16.3 million BTC, surpassing 71% of total supply, as accumulation intensifies despite recent bear market conditions.

• •Zcash (ZEC) experienced a near 90% rally over one month following the SEC’s investigation closure, signaling a strong rebound in the privacy coin sector as regulatory uncertainties ease.
