스페이스X가 2025년 약 50억 달러의 손실을 기록했음에도 불구하고, 8285개의 비트코인을 그대로 보유하고 있다. 이 물량은 코인베이스 프라임 수탁 계정에 보관 중이며, 현재 가치는 약 6억300만 달러에 달한다. 이는 회사가 심각한 재정적 압박을 겪는 와중에도 디지털 자산 포지션을 유지하고 있음을 보여주는 강력한 신호다. 전년도 80억 달러의 이익을 기록했던 회사의 재무 상황이 급격히 반전된 것이다.
이러한 손실의 주요 원인은 올해 2월에 완료된 일론 머스크의 인공지능 기업 xAI 인수 통합 비용 때문으로 분석된다. 스페이스X의 2025년 매출은 185억 달러...

IPO를 준비 중인 스페이스X가 2025년 매출 185억 달러를 기록했음에도 약 50억 달러의 적자를 낸 것으로 전해졌다. 이는 불과 1년 전만 해도 흑자 기조를 유지하던 회사의 재무구조가 급격히 뒤집힌 사건으로, 인공지능(AI) 인프라에 대한 대규모 투자가 직접적인 원인으로 지목되고 있다.
블록체인 매체 코인포스트 보도에 따르면, 스페이스X의 적자는 올해 2월 인수한 일론 머스크의 AI 스타트업 xAI의 대규모 설비투자가 연결 재무제표에 반영된 영향이 컸다. xAI는 고성능 반도체 칩과 데이터센터 구축에 막대한 자금을 투입하고 있으며, 이 비용이 단기적으로 스페이...
