BREAKING: Elon Buys Bitcoin Secretly ?

Elon Musk has once again stirred the crypto world by liking a post on X (formerly Twitter) suggesting he might be "stacking" Bitcoin quietly. The interaction, noticed by crypto enthusiasts, has triggered fresh rumors about Musk's ongoing interest in Bitcoin and potential market moves.

This isn’t Musk’s first brush with Bitcoin. Back in early 2021, Tesla made headlines by purchasing $1.5 billion worth of BTC and briefly accepting it as payment. Although Tesla later paused Bitcoin payments due to environmental concerns, the company still holds a significant portion of that Bitcoin on its balance sheet. According to its most recent filings, Tesla owns around 10,500 BTC, making it one of the largest public corporate holders.

In addition to Tesla, SpaceX has also reportedly bought Bitcoin, though the exact amount remains undisclosed. Musk confirmed this during a panel in 2021, noting that both Tesla and SpaceX held BTC alongside his personal investment.

His past tweets and online actions have shown an ability to move markets, and even a simple "like" from Musk often draws intense attention. With his net worth and influence, any perceived hint of Bitcoin support from Musk can fuel speculation, price movement, and renewed public interest in the cryptocurrency.

While there's no confirmation that he's currently accumulating Bitcoin, this subtle social signal has once again put the spotlight on Musk's complex and influential relationship with the crypto space.
