Everyone calls SpaceX a Bitcoin proxy. The math says 0.08%

SpaceX’s broken IPO has crypto media narrating every tick against its 18,712 BTC. One division destroys the story: the coins are eight basis points of the company. Summary SPCX has collapsed 48% from its June peak of $225.64 to about $117, below its $135 IPO price, and a persistent narrative frames the stock as a leveraged Bitcoin proxy because of the 18,712 BTC on its balance sheet. The decomposition kills the frame: at a roughly $1.56 trillion market value, SpaceX’s $1.18 billion in Bitcoin is approximately 0.076% of the company, eight basis points.
