Elon Musk says SpaceX may put DOGE 'on the moon' next year

What to know:
- Elon Musk reignited speculation about dogecoin after replying "Yes" on X to a post hinting at the meme token's future rise.
- Musk and his companies Tesla and SpaceX have previously embraced Dogecoin for select merchandise and backed the DOGE-1 satellite mission, one of the token's few real-world uses.
- Dogecoin still trades about 90 percent below its 2021 peak, and no new initiatives were announced, underscoring how the token's visibility remains heavily tied to Musk's sporadic public engagement.
Elon Musk revived dogecoin’s (DOGE) “to the moon” storyline on Tuesday, replying “maybe next year” to a post resurfacing his earlier claim that SpaceX would put a “literal dogecoin on the literal moon.”
That Musk/DOGE ship, however, may have sailed. Five years ago, a Musk mention might have sent the memecoin surging higher, but DOGE didn't flinch this time around, continuing to trade just below $0.11, down nearly 60% year over year and roughly 90% from the 2021 peak.

The comment came after the Tesla Owners Silicon Valley account tagged Musk with “When @elonmusk?” alongside a screenshot of his January 2021 post promising the Dogecoin-on-the-moon stunt.
Musk responded first with “Yes,” then followed up with: “Maybe next year,” drawing hundreds of thousands of views and quickly reigniting speculation around whether SpaceX plans to tie a future payload or promotional stunt to the meme token.
Musk has repeatedly voiced support for Dogecoin over the years, and his remarks have historically been enough to jolt attention — and sometimes price — back toward the token. In 2022, he said SpaceX would accept Dogecoin for some merchandise, echoing Tesla’s earlier move to take DOGE payments for select items.
SpaceX has also been linked to Dogecoin through the DOGE-1 mission, a small satellite funded entirely in DOGE and slated to fly aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. First announced in 2021, the mission has faced repeated delays, but has cleared regulatory steps that keep it alive as one of the most visible Dogecoin-adjacent projects tied to SpaceX.
Neither Musk nor SpaceX provided details on what “next year” might refer to, and the company has not announced any new Dogecoin-related initiatives.
Still, the exchange shows how even a vague timeline hint from Musk can pull Dogecoin back into the spotlight — and reopen a narrative thread that has outlasted multiple crypto cycles.

Trump Owns $870 Million Bitcoin Amid Crypto Market Meltdown
The post Trump Owns $870 Million Bitcoin Amid Crypto Market Meltdown appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. President Donald Trump has quietly become one of the world’s largest Bitcoin (BTC) holders, even as the crypto market faces a historic meltdown. The revelation comes as Bitcoin and the broader crypto market struggle through one of their steepest declines in recent years. Trump Media’s $2 Billion Bitcoin Bet Makes President A Major Investors According to a Forbes report, Trump’s indirect Bitcoin exposure is now valued at around $870 million, placing him among the biggest investors in the digital asset space. Despite the crash, Trump’s holdings remain strong, showing his business’ growing ties to the crypto market. Forbes found that Trump’s holdings are not listed in any official government filings or financial disclosures. Instead, his exposure comes through his 41% stake in Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social. Earlier this year, Trump Media raised $2.3 billion through debt and stock sales, using most of the proceeds to buy $2 billion worth of Bitcoin. The move aligns with MicroStrategy’s renewed interest in buying Bitcoin after not buying any last week. That move gave Trump a massive indirect stake in the world’s largest cryptocurrency. Trump Media’s Bitcoin Strategy Shows Trump’s Shift From Crypto Disbelief When the company chose to start holding BTC on its balance sheet, it represented a radical turning point from just being a social media company. Through the adoption of the same corporate treasury technique popularized by Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc., Trump Media has become a U.S. company holding large amounts of Bitcoin. This shift mirrors the growing wave of institutional adoption. Recently, trillion-dollar asset manager Morgan Stanley opened crypto investments to all its wealth clients. According to Forbes, the company’s overall evaluation has fallen since its Bitcoin purchase. However, its Bitcoin reserves now make up the strongest part of its balance sheet. Trump’s…
