Bitcoin\u2019s<\/span><\/a> troubles continue as the popular cryptocurrency dipped below $27,000, raising concerns of a further decline. The latest hit comes in the wake of aerospace giant SpaceX reportedly offloading roughly $373 million worth of Bitcoin, which it had acquired between 2021 and 2022. Amidst this sell-off, Bitcoin faces a resistance of $28,943.90 and new support of $25,409.11.<\/span><\/p>\n

SpaceX Sells Bitcoin (BTC)<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Wall Street Journal <\/span>reports<\/span><\/a> on August 17 revealed that SpaceX had recorded Bitcoin holdings amounting to $373 million on its balance sheet during 2021 and 2022. Documents showed that the firm\u2019s total expenses for 2022 were approximately $5.2 billion, with $5.4 billion spent in 2021 and 2022 on acquiring property, equipment, research, and development. While SpaceX has been tight-lipped about the sale, this move indicates a strategic shift in the company\u2019s financial portfolio.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to note that Elon Musk, SpaceX\u2019s CEO, publicly announced in 2021 that SpaceX had acquired an unspecified amount of Bitcoin. In the same year, a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission disclosed that Tesla, another company co-founded by Musk, had <\/span>plans<\/span><\/a> to purchase $1.5 billion worth of the cryptocurrency. Such announcements contributed to Bitcoin\u2019s surge, propelling it to an all-time high of over $43,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s price is $26,298.74, with a 24-hour trading volume of $26,151,285,776. Despite this drop, Bitcoin retains its top position on CoinMarketCap with a live market cap of $511,783,802,814.<\/span><\/p>\n
