According to reports, SpaceX sold cryptocurrency worth USD 373 million. However, the company has not disclosed the reason behind the liquidation of its Bitcoin reserves.
Today, the price of Bitcoin reached as low as USD 25,392.05. As of 2:40 pm, the cryptocurrency was at USD 26,551.69, marking a decrease of 6.91 percent.
