"Musk brothers hold 23,400 Bitcoins... worth 2.5 trillion won"

Revealed in an interview with father Errol Musk

Family testimony has emerged that American entrepreneur Elon Musk and his younger brother Kimbal Musk own Bitcoins worth 2.5 trillion won.

On the 17th (local time), according to the American economic media Benzinga, Errol Musk, the father of the Musk brothers, revealed in a recent interview with a cryptocurrency specialized media that his two sons collectively hold 23,400 Bitcoins.

As the current price of Bitcoin is 74,000 dollars per coin, the value of the Bitcoins held by the brothers amounts to 1.7 billion dollars (approximately 2.5 trillion won).

Currently, Tesla, the electric vehicle company led by Elon Musk, holds 11,509 Bitcoins, and SpaceX, the aerospace company, holds 8,285 Bitcoins.

Excluding the holdings of both companies, it is estimated that the Musk brothers personally hold approximately 3,606 Bitcoins.

Elon Musk is already the world's richest person with assets worth 839 billion dollars.

With the upcoming listing of SpaceX, considered the 'largest IPO' this year, there are predictions that he will soon become the world's first 'trillionaire'.

If the large amount of previously undisclosed Bitcoins is included, Musk's asset size will further increase.

Although Elon Musk has never publicly disclosed his Bitcoin holdings, he has shown interest in cryptocurrency on several occasions.

In the past, he has repeatedly mentioned Dogecoin, classified as a 'meme coin' (cryptocurrency inspired by internet and SNS memes and jokes), leading to price fluctuations, and recently added a feature to his social networking service (SNS) X that allows users to check cryptocurrency prices in real-time.
