SpaceX Maintains $603M Bitcoin Treasury Despite Reporting $5B Annual Loss
Bitcoin holdings at SpaceX have remained unchanged at 8,285 BTC, currently valued at approximately $603 million, according to recent data from Arkham Intelligence. This steady treasury position persists despite the company reporting a net loss of nearly $5 billion for the 2025 fiscal year. While SpaceX saw its annual revenue climb to $18.5 billion, the significant deficit is attributed to the high costs of integrating xAI, the artificial intelligence venture acquired by Elon Musk in February 2025, CoinDesk said in a report. The $5 billion loss represents a sharp shift from the previous year, when the company recorded roughly $8 billion in profit. Financial analysts note that despite these operational headwinds, SpaceX has not liquidated its digital assets to improve its immediate cash position. Blockchain records show the company's holdings have been stable since mid-2024, with the only activity being minor internal transfers for wallet maintenance. As SpaceX moves toward a potential Initial Public Offering (IPO), these Bitcoin holdings will soon be subject to public scrutiny. Under new FASB accounting rules that took effect in late 2025, the company will be required to report the fair-market value of its digital assets in official filings. SpaceX currently maintains the fourth-largest known Bitcoin reserve held by a corporation, trailing only MicroStrategy, Marathon Digital, and Riot Platforms.

Mirae Asset pushing to get SpaceX IPO shares for its investors as gov't reviews regulatory hurdles
Mirae Asset Securities is pushing to allocate shares from SpaceX's initial public offering (IPO) to domestic investors. Financial authorities have already begun reviewing legal feasibility and regulatory compatibility. The Financial Supervisory Service is in the early stages of confirming details with Mirae Asset Securities and believes a comprehensive legal review is needed to determine whether the differing IPO structures in the United States and Korea can be aligned, according to reports on Sunday. SpaceX's IPO is expected to be worth as much as $75 billion, potentially surpassing Saudi Aramco as the largest IPO ever. Mirae Asset Securities is reportedly seeking to secure around $5 billion worth of shares in collaboration with global investment banks. Korean investors are particularly focused on whether domestic retail investors will be able to participate directly in the offering, particularly as CEO Elon Musk is reportedly considering allocating up to 30 percent of the shares to individual investors. However, there are significant practical constraints. In Korea, a securities registration statement and review process are mandatory when offering shares to retail investors, while U.S. IPOs are typically structured around institutional allocations, creating a substantial regulatory gap. The timeline is also tight, given that it takes at least 15 business days for a registration statement to become effective. Investor protection is another key issue, including how to align disclosure standards and the level of information provided. Authorities are also expected to examine the potential impact on the foreign exchange market if large amounts of capital flow overseas. If these regulatory hurdles prove difficult to overcome, Mirae Asset Securities may consider alternatives such as allocating shares primarily to institutional investors or private equity funds. If realized, the plan could mark the first time domestic investors directly participate in a global megadeal IPO, but how regulatory and practical challenges are addressed will be crucial.

Anthropic under scrutiny as Claude flags users as minors, here is how to unlock your account
Users must verify age via Yoti or appeal within 30 days to restore access. Claude is one of those AI tools that people have been using and loving for a while now. It has got to the point where many people believe in it so much that they have chosen to buy its Pro version. However, now some people have started reporting that their accounts have been blocked by Claude, as the AI tool makers believe that the user is below the age of 18. The message stated that access had been paused due to a violation of age rules. The case has raised fresh concerns about how such decisions are made and what data is being reviewed behind the scenes. According to the user's Reddit post, the email from Anthropic said 'our team found signals' suggesting the account was used by a minor. The wording has sparked concern because it suggests human review may be involved, though the company has not publicly confirmed the exact process behind such checks. Also read: Apple Days sale: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 15 and iPhone 16e available with big discounts Users are reportedly asked to verify their age through Yoti to regain access to their account. This would include options like providing an ID, a facial scan, or any kind of biometric verification. This link to appeal, according to the email that was shared, is valid for 30 days, after which the account will be disabled. At the same time, Anthropic's official support page presents a slightly different explanation. It states that users must be at least 18 years old and that age detection can come from app stores like the Apple App Store or Google Play. In some regions, especially parts of the United States, new regulations require platforms to rely on app store age data. If a user is flagged incorrectly, they are advised to contact Apple or Google directly, since Anthropic does not control that data. Also read: Claude defects: 3 things it can't do versus ChatGPT and Gemini This mismatch between what users are saying and the official guidance has caused confusion. One side suggests that verification happens through the app store, while the other says there might be manual reviews and extra identity checks. Because of these discrepancies, many users are also worried about their privacy, especially whether their conversations are being checked during these actions.

Anthropic's Claude for Word Challenges Microsoft As MSFT Stock Slides 22% - Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)
Anthropic Launches Claude for Word, Challenges Microsoft's Enterprise Dominance As MSFT Stock Slides 22% This Year The newly launched tool challenges Microsoft's software dominance on its own turf, whose shares are down nearly 22% year to date. Anthropic launched Claude for Excel in beta in October and Claude for PowerPoint in February. Designed for "professionals who work extensively with documents, particularly in legal review, financial memo drafting, and iterative editing," the tool reads complex multi-section documents, works through comment threads, and edits clauses while preserving formatting, numbering, and styles, the AI startup stated. The launch comes as AI's role in legal work draws increasing scrutiny, with Chief Justice John Roberts warning the technology could make it "really tough for young lawyers" as routine document tasks are rapidly automated. Claude Targets Legal And Finance Workflows The add-in supports tracked changes mode, comment-driven editing, semantic navigation, and template population. Users can toggle between Sonnet 4.6 and Opus 4.6 models. Anthropic said the tool shares context across Claude for Excel and Claude for PowerPoint, enabling cross-application workflows "without copying and pasting between apps." Beta Limitations And Security Risks Anthropic flagged prompt injection risks from externally sourced documents, warning hidden instructions could "manipulate the AI or extract sensitive data." The company does not recommend the tool for "final client deliverables, litigation filings, or audit-critical documents" without human review. The add-in is available via Microsoft's App Store.

Elon Musk's xAI faces lawsuit over Mississippi power plant tied to AI data centers
Elon Musk's AI company xAI is facing a legal challenge in the US state of Mississippi over plans to build a large gas-powered plant to support its AI operations. According to a CNBC report, several environmental groups, including NAACP, Young, Gifted & Green, and the Safe and Sound Coalition, have asked state authorities to cancel the permit given to the company. The groups say the plant could harm air quality and affect the health of people living nearby. The groups have filed a petition with the state, warning that the proposed power plant in Southaven could increase pollution levels. According to their lawyers, the project may worsen ozone levels in the area and raise emissions of harmful pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide and fine particles. They argue that this could lead to serious health risks for local residents.The permit, granted by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality in March, this year allows xAI to install 41 natural gas turbines in DeSoto County. These turbines are expected to power nearby data centers that support AI systems.xAI already operates a data center in Memphis, Tennessee, and is building another facility in Southaven as part of its expansion plans.The environmental groups have also raised concerns about how the permit was approved. They claim that pollution estimates used in the process were not accurate and that the company was not required to use the cleanest available technology. They further allege that local communities were not properly involved in discussions, and that the approval process may have been rushed.The permit falls under a federal rule known as Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD), which applies to large pollution sources like power plants and usually involves detailed review. The Mississippi regulator said it has received the request for a hearing on the matter and that xAI will be allowed to take part in the process.
Flight Chaos at Ahmedabad Airport: 15 Delays, SpiceJet Sharjah Flight Cancelled
Passengers faced major inconvenience at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport on Sunday after widespread disruption to flight schedules triggered chaos at the terminal. According to reports, around 15 flights were delayed, while a key international flight to Sharjah operated by SpiceJet was cancelled. Several domestic flights bound for metro cities such as Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, and Kolkata were also delayed for hours, leaving passengers stranded-many of whom were travelling for business or emergency purposes. Frustrated by the prolonged delays, poor management, and lack of clear communication from the airline, passengers staged protests inside the airport and raised slogans against the authorities. The cancellation of the Sharjah flight further worsened the situation, as travellers faced complications related to visas and connecting flights. The tense atmosphere at the airport prompted security personnel to intervene and bring the situation under control.
Meta's most-popular former employee and father of AI Yann LeCun calls Anthropic's latest model that has everyone scared, as 'Drama'
Yann LeCun -- Meta's former chief AI scientist and one of the three researchers credited with pioneering modern deep learning -- has dismissed the panic around Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview as overblown theatrics. "Mythos drama = BS from self-delusion," LeCun wrote on X, responding to a post from AI security company Aisle that claimed smaller, cheaper models could replicate much of the same vulnerability analysis Anthropic showcased in its announcement this week.LeCun's comments came days after Anthropic said Mythos Preview had found thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities across every major operating system and web browser -- claims serious enough to prompt Fed Chair Jerome Powell and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to convene an emergency meeting with CEOs of America's biggest banks. The model, which Anthropic has refused to release publicly, is being shared only with a select group of companies including Apple, Google, and Microsoft under a $100 million initiative called Project Glasswing.LeCun's scepticism isn't isolated. Gary Marcus, the AI researcher and frequent industry critic, wrote on Substack that the Mythos threat was "overblown" and that "to a certain degree, I feel that we were played." Marcus argued the model appears to be "incrementally better" than its predecessors rather than a breakthrough. David Sacks, the former White House AI czar, acknowledged the cybersecurity risks but added that "it's hard to ignore that Anthropic has a history of scare tactics." Dave Kasten from Palisade Research told CNBC that Anthropic is "a little ahead, but not overwhelmingly ahead" and doesn't have a permanent moat -- noting that OpenAI reportedly has a model with similar capabilities it also plans to restrict.The timing hasn't helped Anthropic's case. The company's projected annual revenue has tripled to over $30 billion this year, and both Anthropic and OpenAI are reportedly exploring IPOs. A model too dangerous to release, available only to the world's largest corporations -- that reads as easily as a safety decision as it does a sales pitch.Not everyone agrees with LeCun. The organisations that have been hands-on with Mythos Preview for weeks -- Cisco, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks -- are treating it as a genuine inflection point. CrowdStrike's CTO Elia Zaitsev said "what once took months now happens in minutes with AI." Cisco's chief security officer called it a threshold moment with "no going back." These are cybersecurity companies with their own reputations on the line -- not Anthropic's marketing department.
SpaceX Targets Tuesday for Rocket Launch from Cape Canaveral - Space Coast Daily
By Space Coast Daily // April 12, 2026 Coverage of the launch can be seen on Space Coast Daily TV BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA - SpaceX's Falcon 9 is targeting the launch of 29 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit on Tuesday, April 14, from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Launch window opens at 2:13 a.m. ET and closes 6:13 a.m. ET. This will be the 26th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Ax-2, Euclid, Ax-3, CRS-30, SES ASTRA 1P, NG-21, and 19 Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
Anthropic's Mythos AI sparks global bank alerts over cyber risk - CNBC TV18
A powerful new artificial intelligence model from Anthropic has set off a coordinated response among top global financial regulators, with authorities in the US, Canada and the UK moving within days to assess risks and shore up bank defences against a new class of cyber threats. The urgency was underscored in Washington this week, where US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell summoned Wall Street chiefs for a hastily arranged meeting, warning that Anthropic's latest model, known as Mythos, could usher in an era of more sophisticated cyberattacks. Banks were encouraged to take the unusual step of deploying the same technology internally to identify vulnerabilities in their own systems, according to people familiar with the discussions. Firms including JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup are among those testing the model or preparing to do so. The US warning quickly reverberated across jurisdictions. In Canada, the Bank of Canada convened major lenders and financial authorities under its Financial Sector Resiliency Group to discuss the cyber security implications of advanced AI models. Officials emphasised information-sharing and preparedness, even as they said there was no immediate or active threat to the financial system. The Bank of England is preparing to take up the issue in upcoming meetings with banks, regulators and cyber agencies, placing Anthropic's model on the agenda of key resilience and AI taskforce discussions. Also Read: Anthropic unveils powerful AI model, but delays release over cybersecurity concerns: All about Claude Mythos The near-simultaneous moves point to a growing consensus among policymakers that advances in artificial intelligence could enable a new breed of cyber attacks capable of exploiting multiple vulnerabilities at once -- a task that has traditionally challenged even sophisticated human hackers. Anthropic has said its Mythos model is capable of identifying and exploiting weaknesses across major operating systems and web browsers, prompting the company to restrict its release to a small group of firms under a controlled testing programme. The initiative, which includes select technology companies and at least one major bank, is aimed at identifying flaws and building safeguards before wider deployment. Regulators are increasingly treating such capabilities as a potential systemic risk. Many of the banks involved in the US discussions are designated as systemically important institutions, meaning disruptions to their operations could have broader consequences for the global financial system. The episode also marks a shift in regulatory strategy -- from focusing primarily on governing AI use to actively encouraging financial institutions to adopt cutting-edge tools to defend against emerging threats. While officials across jurisdictions stressed that the discussions were precautionary, the speed and coordination of the response highlight how seriously authorities are taking the potential for AI to reshape the cyber risk landscape.
Anthropic Poised to Surpass OpenAI in Business AI Spending - News Directory 3
At the current pace, Anthropic is on track to surpass OpenAI within the next two months Anthropic is rapidly closing the gap with OpenAI in terms of U.S. Business AI spending, according to data from the finance automation and corporate card issuer Ramp. The data indicates that Anthropic is nearing a position where it may surpass OpenAI in business adoption. Ramp reports that 50% of its customers now pay for AI products. Among these users, 30.6% utilize Anthropic, an increase of 6.3% since March 2026. OpenAI currently accounts for 35.2% of customers within the same group. At the current pace, Anthropic is on track to surpass OpenAI within the next two months The broader market for business AI adoption has seen a significant surge, doubling to an estimated $8.4 billion in the six months leading up to April 2026. While OpenAI has long been the primary beneficiary of the enterprise AI boom, Anthropic's Claude model family has emerged as a primary challenger. Anthropic currently leads OpenAI in spending across three specific sectors: personal services, information, and finance, and insurance. The company also maintains a lead among early adopters, including professional services and software firms, as well as venture capital-backed companies. One primary driver of this growth is Claude Code, which has gained significant traction among software developers and engineers. Benchmarking specialist Arena.ai has listed Anthropic as having top-performing models, which influences corporate procurement decisions. Enterprise CTOs and CIOs are increasingly prioritizing nuanced reasoning capabilities, safety, and reliability over general-purpose chatbot functionality, areas where Claude has demonstrated efficacy. The likelihood of a business adopting AI is strongly correlated with its funding source. According to Ramp, VC-backed businesses have an 80% adoption rate, while those backed by private-equity firms show a 64% adoption rate. Companies without either form of backing have a 45% adoption rate. Anthropic's corporate reputation received an unexpected boost in February 2026 following a dispute with the U.S. Government. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth urged the company to accept the military's terms of use for Claude or face being blacklisted. Anthropic refused the terms, leading President Donald Trump to instruct federal agencies to cease using the company's technology. The Department of Defense designated Anthropic as a supply chain risk, and OpenAI stepped in to provide its services to the Department of Defense. The conflict triggered a rally among some users. Claude temporarily surpassed ChatGPT on the App Store, and major technology firms, including Microsoft, expressed support for Anthropic. Despite the current spending trends among Ramp customers, a significant revenue gap existed between the two companies earlier in the year. At the start of 2025, self-reported figures indicated that OpenAI led Anthropic in annualized revenue by $6 billion compared to Anthropic's $1 billion. As competition intensifies, the two companies are pursuing different monetization strategies. OpenAI is focusing on making advertising a key part of its business model for the ChatGPT app and website, while Anthropic remains focused on enterprise infrastructure and high-reasoning models. Major corporations including Visa, Microsoft, and Meta have already encouraged their employees to integrate AI technology into daily workflows, contributing to the overall increase in enterprise spending.
SpaceX Will Have Static Fire Testing of All 33 Engines | NextBigFuture.com

What did Google do with Polymarket bets in News?
Google removed Polymarket betting pages from Google News after they started appearing alongside legitimate news results. The company said the appearance of the bets was a mistake: those betting entries were not supposed to show up in the News product. The issue was visible in at least two ways. First, Polymarket bets appeared alongside standard articles in Google News. Second, reports indicate Google News tests showed Polymarket blocks in feed areas such as "For you," presented in a way that resembled content ranking rather than an explicit betting destination. Once users and publishers noticed, the bets disappeared from Google News, and Google pointed to the mix-up as the explanation. The episode highlights how tightly bundled Google's feed-ranking and content sources are. Even when a bet or page is part of a separate ecosystem (a prediction market), a distribution system that treats everything as "content" can accidentally surface non-news material in news contexts. For advertisers, publishers, and users, the practical effect is trust and clarity: users may reasonably expect Google News to display editorially meaningful items, not betting interfaces or promotional blocks. For Polymarket and similar services, unintended placement could also distort traffic attribution and user expectations. The stories provided don't include details on the technical root cause -- such as which signals or indexing paths caused the bets to be treated as eligible News results. The key confirmed fact is Google's acknowledgement that the bets should not have appeared, and that they were subsequently removed.
Claude Mythos: Anthropic's 244-page system card unlocks new safety disclosures
Anthropic has released a massive documentation package around claude mythos, signaling a shift in how frontier AI models are evaluated and discussed publicly. Every few months, a new frontier model appears, benchmarks spike, a glossy blog post lands, and developers briefly experiment before the narrative moves on. However, Claude Mythos Preview is a clear departure from that well-worn pattern. Alongside the preview, Anthropic published a 244-page system card that dives deep into the model's inner workings. Moreover, this document showcases capabilities that have not been described at this level of detail for any similar system to date. The author of the analysis explains that they read the entire report, page by page. That said, the result is a picture of Anthropic's research priorities and risk thinking that looks unlike what any other frontier AI lab has released so far. This release is explicitly not a new commercial product. Anthropic is not making Claude Mythos Preview broadly available through public APIs, app interfaces, or standard enterprise channels. Instead, the company is choosing to characterize much of the model behavior primarily through the system card itself. However, this means the technical paper, not hands-on usage, is currently the main window into how the system works. According to the description, this cautious approach is motivated by Mythos Preview's potentially disruptive and wide-ranging capabilities. Moreover, Anthropic is deliberately avoiding a fast, unqualified deployment that might ignore real-world consequences. The system card does far more than list accuracy scores on standard tests. It lays out benchmarks, potential misuse pathways, cybersecurity concerns, and behaviors that Anthropic classifies as particularly alarming. However, the document also highlights areas where the model appears to push the frontier of what is technically possible today. The analysis promises details on evaluation methods, risk scenarios, and mitigation strategies, all embedded in the 244 pages. In the middle of this extensive assessment, Anthropic uses the term claude mythos to frame a broader discussion about how advanced models should be documented, stress-tested, and governed before general availability. Before diving into the technical content of the system card, the backstory is emphasized as crucial context. The public did not initially learn about the model through a splashy consumer launch or ad campaign. Instead, awareness emerged through the system card itself and follow-on commentary by researchers and practitioners. Moreover, this rollout strategy underscores Anthropic's focus on evaluation, safety, and transparency rather than immediate market impact. That said, questions still remain about future access, including any eventual Mythos Preview deployment, how enterprise users might engage with it, and what additional safeguards will be required if capabilities continue to grow. The early read of the 244-page document suggests three main themes: unprecedented disclosure depth, serious attention to cybersecurity and misuse risks, and a deliberate slowdown relative to the usual frontier model release tempo. However, this is only a first-wave interpretation of a long and technical report. As more experts study the benchmarks and behavioral tests, new insights about the model's strengths, limitations, and societal implications are likely to emerge. In summary, Anthropic's handling of Claude Mythos Preview marks an inflection point in how cutting-edge AI systems are introduced. The emphasis on detailed documentation, risk analysis, and staged exposure could shape expectations for every major frontier model release that follows.

SpaceX Bitcoin Holdings Hit $603M Amid Nearly $5B xAI Loss
SpaceX holds an estimated $603 million in Bitcoin on its balance sheet while reporting a consolidated loss of nearly $5 billion for the same period, a gap that underscores the scale of spending tied to the company's acquisition of xAI earlier this year. The Bitcoin position, tracked by external data aggregators rather than any official SpaceX disclosure, sits at 8,285 BTC. At a spot price near $73,002, that stack is worth roughly $604.8 million, close to but not exactly matching the $603 million figure circulating in headlines. The dollar valuation is inherently price-sensitive. Because Bitcoin trades around the clock, the precise USD figure shifts with every tick, meaning the $603 million estimate is a snapshot rather than a fixed balance-sheet line item. No official SpaceX treasury disclosure has confirmed the 8,285 BTC figure. The balance is sourced from external tracking platforms such as BitcoinTreasuries and Arkham rather than a company filing, which means the reported holdings carry a layer of uncertainty that readers should weigh. Corporate Bitcoin reserves from high-profile private companies command outsized attention in crypto circles. SpaceX, as one of the most valuable private companies in the world and closely associated with Elon Musk, amplifies that dynamic. When a company of that scale maintains a multi-hundred-million-dollar BTC position, it feeds the institutional adoption narrative that Bitcoin watchers track closely. The fact that SpaceX has reportedly held its stack rather than liquidating it, even during periods of market stress, reinforces the perception that corporate treasurers view BTC as a long-duration reserve asset. The current market environment adds context. The Fear and Greed Index sits at 16, deep in "Extreme Fear" territory, which means SpaceX's willingness to hold through downturns carries more narrative weight than it would during a bull run. The Information reported that SpaceX lost just under $5 billion last year while generating more than $18.5 billion in revenue. Those consolidated financial figures had not been previously reported, according to the outlet. The loss figures include xAI after SpaceX officially acquired the AI company on February 2, 2026. xAI's own announcement confirmed the acquisition date, which means SpaceX's 2025 financials now reflect the combined entity's spending, including xAI's heavy AI infrastructure costs. It is important to distinguish what the loss figure represents. The nearly $5 billion is a consolidated operating result, not a Bitcoin-related writedown. SpaceX's BTC holding is an asset on the balance sheet; the reported loss reflects spending across launch operations, Starlink, and now xAI's AI development. No public SpaceX financial filing or official earnings release has independently confirmed these numbers. The figures rest on media reporting rather than a regulatory disclosure, which is typical for a private company but limits independent verification. The roughly $604.8 million Bitcoin position is materially smaller than the nearly $5 billion consolidated loss. The BTC holding represents roughly 12% of the reported loss figure, or about 3.3% of the reported $18.5 billion revenue. That ratio matters for context. The Bitcoin reserve, while significant in absolute terms, is a fraction of SpaceX's overall financial footprint. It is not large enough to offset the xAI-driven losses, nor was it likely intended to serve that purpose. The two figures occupy different parts of the financial picture. The Bitcoin stack is a balance-sheet asset whose value fluctuates with market prices. The $5 billion loss is an income-statement figure reflecting operational spending. Comparing them directly, as the headline framing invites readers to do, risks conflating a treasury position with an operating result. That said, the Bitcoin reserve can still matter independently. In a market where the broader altcoin landscape remains volatile, a stable corporate BTC holding from a company as prominent as SpaceX reinforces the thesis that Bitcoin functions as a distinct asset class within corporate treasuries. SpaceX is not alone in holding Bitcoin on a corporate balance sheet, but its position stands out because of the company's private status. Unlike MicroStrategy or Tesla, SpaceX does not file public earnings reports, which means its BTC holdings surface only through third-party trackers and occasional media leaks. That opacity cuts both ways. On one hand, it means the 8,285 BTC figure cannot be independently verified through SEC filings. On the other, it means any disclosure, even an indirect one through financial reporting, carries outsized signal value for a market already primed to track institutional BTC flows. The Extreme Fear reading of 16 on the sentiment index suggests that broader crypto market participants are risk-averse right now. In that environment, evidence that a major private company continues to hold a sizable BTC reserve, rather than selling into weakness, reinforces confidence among long-term holders. The xAI acquisition adds a layer of complexity. With SpaceX now absorbing billions in AI-related spending, the decision to maintain a Bitcoin position rather than liquidating it to fund operations signals that the BTC holding serves a purpose beyond short-term cash management. How much Bitcoin does SpaceX hold? External tracking platforms report SpaceX holds 8,285 BTC. At current prices near $73,002, that position is worth approximately $604.8 million. No official SpaceX filing confirms this figure. How large is SpaceX's reported loss? The Information reported that SpaceX lost just under $5 billion in 2025 on revenue exceeding $18.5 billion. These consolidated figures include xAI's financials following the February 2026 acquisition. Why is xAI relevant to this Bitcoin story? The xAI acquisition is relevant because it explains why SpaceX's consolidated loss ballooned to nearly $5 billion. Without the xAI integration, the loss figure and the Bitcoin holding would be entirely separate stories. The acquisition ties them together by raising the question of whether SpaceX's BTC reserve plays any role in offsetting or financing AI-related spending, a question the available evidence cannot answer definitively. Is the $603 million figure exact? No. The figure is an approximation based on a reported BTC balance of 8,285 coins multiplied by a point-in-time price. The actual dollar value changes continuously with Bitcoin's market price. Disclaimer: This article is for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial or investment advice.

Pentagon banned Anthropic is still at talking terms with senior officials; as CEO Dario Amodei joined call with JD Vance and Scott Bessent
Anthropic is finding itself in one of the most unusual positions in Washington: While it is fighting the US government in court, it is also one of the core group members of the tech companies that are sitting on private calls with Trump administration's most senior officials, including vice president JD Vance. Dario Amodei, CEO of the AI safety company behind the Claude platform, was among a select group of technology CEOs who joined a concall last week with Vance and treasury secretary Scott Bessent to discuss the security implications of powerful AI models.Citing two people familiar with the matter, a report by CNBC claims that this conversation that took place just before Anthropic released its highly restricted Mythos model to a limited group of companies, which included Microsoft, Google, Apple and other AI bigwigs.Other than Amodei, the group of CEOs included Sam Altman of OpenAI, Sundar Pichai of Google, Satya Nadella of Microsoft, Elon Musk of xAI, George Kurtz of CrowdStrike and Nikesh Arora of Palo Alto Networks.This came at a time when Anthropic was preparing to release Mythos, its most powerful AI model to date, which the company had decided to restrict to approximately 40 major technology companies after internal assessments suggested it could expose long-hidden cybersecurity vulnerabilities.Amodei's presence on the call carries significant weight given the current state of Anthropic's relationship with the federal government.President Donald Trump's administration is actively seeking to strip Anthropic's Claude platform from federal agencies, and the company is currently locked in a legal battle over a Department of War supply chain risk designation that has effectively blacklisted it from Pentagon contracts. While a federal judge in San Francisco granted Anthropic a preliminary injunction, temporarily blocking the blacklisting, a federal appeals court subsequently denied the company's request to extend that temporary block.Meanwhile, the company confirmed to CNBC that it had briefed "senior officials across the US government on Mythos Preview's full capabilities."Prior to any external release, Anthropic briefed senior officials across the U.S. government on Mythos Preview's full capabilities, including both its offensive and defensive cyber applications. Bringing government into the loop early -- on what the model can do, where the risks are, and how we're managing them -- was a priority from the start," the official said.
