Revealed in an interview with father Errol Musk
Family testimony has emerged that American entrepreneur Elon Musk and his younger brother Kimbal Musk hold Bitcoin worth 2.5 trillion won.
According to US economic media Benzinga on the 17th (local time), 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 per coin is 74,000 dollars, the value of the Bitcoin held by the brothers amounts to 1.7 billion dollars (approximately 2.5 trillion won).
Currently, Tesla, the electric car 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, holding assets worth 839 billion dollars.
With the IPO of SpaceX, considered the 'biggest catch' for IPOs this year, approaching, there are predictions that he will soon become the world's first 'trillionaire'.
If a large amount of previously undisclosed Bitcoin is included, Musk's asset size will further increase.
Although Elon Musk has never disclosed his personal Bitcoin holdings, he has shown interest in cryptocurrency on several occasions.
In the past, he frequently 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.
