Elon Musk made history on June 12, 2026, the day SpaceX completed the largest IPO in history, pricing at $135 per share and reaching a valuation above $2 trillion on its first day of trading.
Elon Musk made history on June 12, 2026, the day SpaceX completed the largest IPO in history, pricing at $135 per share and reaching a valuation above $2 trillion on its first day of trading.
That single event pushed Musk's net worth past $1 trillion, making him the first individual in human history to cross that threshold. The milestone lasted 49 days.
By July 31, SpaceX shares had corrected sharply below their IPO price, touching $132.15 as an intraday low earlier this month.
Musk's net worth has pulled back to approximately $800 billion according to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index, a loss of roughly $200 billion from the peak. The world's first trillionaire is no longer a trillionaire.
What his companies hold in crypto
The crypto picture, once you strip away the noise, comes down to two verified corporate positions.

SpaceX holds 18,712 BTC worth approximately $1.19 billion at today's Bitcoin price of $62,000. Tesla carries 11,509 BTC on its balance sheet worth approximately $714 million.
Combined corporate Bitcoin holdings, 30,221 BTC worth roughly $1.87 billion.
That $1.87 billion sounds significant. Against an $800 billion net worth, it represents approximately 0.23 percent of his total fortune.
The personal holdings mystery
Musk's personal crypto disclosure is thin. He confirmed owning 0.25 BTC in 2020, worth approximately $15,500 today. He confirmed owning Dogecoin in 2021, describing the amount as "a bunch", never quantified.
He confirmed owning Ethereum at The B Word conference in July 2021, amount never disclosed. No financial filing has ever required him to detail personal crypto positions, and he has never volunteered them.
Trending on TheStreet Roundtable:
One on-chain theory suggests he could be a mystery whale holding over 36 billion DOGE worth approximately $2.48 billion, entirely unverified and never addressed by Musk directly.
The man whose single tweets moved Dogecoin by double digits and whose name is synonymous with crypto in mainstream media has a verified crypto exposure, personal plus corporate, of somewhere between $1.87 billion and a theoretical maximum of $4.35 billion.
Against $800 billion in net worth, that is between 0.23 and 0.54 percent. The world's most famous crypto influencer has less than one percent of his fortune in the assets he talks about most.
