During SpaceX's October 20 earnings call, Elon Musk confirmed that both Tesla and SpaceX have established special committees of independent directors to evaluate a potential merger between the two companies.
This development comes after years of close collaboration between the two companies, with Musk serving as CEO of both entities.
According to Decrypt, SpaceX's latest 10-Q filing reveals that any combination with Tesla would require approval from its controlling shareholder, which is likely Musk himself given his majority ownership of the company.
The merger would have significant implications for the cryptocurrency market as Tesla and SpaceX collectively hold 30,221 
Bitcoin, according to Bitcoin World. This positions the combined entity as one of the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin, with a current value of approximately $2.45 billion based on the current Bitcoin price of $81,203.
The broader crypto market remains relatively stable with a total market cap of $2.79 trillion. Bitcoin itself is trading at $81,203, showing a slight 24-hour decline of 0.23% but a modest 7-day gain of 0.19%. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index currently stands at 50, indicating a neutral market sentiment.
