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.

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council
The post Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor and a group of crypto executives met in Washington, D.C. yesterday to push for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill (the BITCOIN Act), which would see the U.S. acquire up to 1M $BTC over five years. With Bitcoin being positioned yet again as a cornerstone of national monetary policy, many investors are turning their eyes to projects that lean into this narrative – altcoins, meme coins, and presales that could ride on the same wave. Read on for three of the best crypto projects that seem especially well‐suited to benefit from this macro shift: Bitcoin Hyper, Best Wallet Token, and Remittix. These projects stand out for having a strong use case and high adoption potential, especially given the push for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve. Why the Bitcoin Reserve Bill Matters for Crypto Markets The strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill could mark a turning point for the U.S. approach to digital assets. The proposal would see America build a long-term Bitcoin reserve by acquiring up to one million $BTC over five years. To make this happen, lawmakers are exploring creative funding methods such as revaluing old gold certificates. The plan also leans on confiscated Bitcoin already held by the government, worth an estimated $15–20B. This isn’t just a headline for policy wonks. It signals that Bitcoin is moving from the margins into the core of financial strategy. Industry figures like Michael Saylor, Senator Cynthia Lummis, and Marathon Digital’s Fred Thiel are all backing the bill. They see Bitcoin not just as an investment, but as a hedge against systemic risks. For the wider crypto market, this opens the door for projects tied to Bitcoin and the infrastructure that supports it. 1. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – Turning Bitcoin Into More Than Just Digital Gold The U.S. may soon treat Bitcoin as…

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models
The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
