Elon Musk has publicly confirmed his personal cryptocurrency holdings on multiple occasions, most notably in a 2021 statement during "The B Word" conference and related tweets/social media posts. He owns three main coins:
Bitcoin (BTC) — He first mentioned owning 0.25 BTC back in 2018 (gifted by a friend), and later confirmed personal holdings. He has stated that his Bitcoin is worth more than his holdings in the other two coins.
Ethereum (ETH) — Confirmed as part of his personal portfolio in 2021, though he has criticized aspects like its scalability and fees in the past.
Dogecoin (DOGE) — He has repeatedly endorsed and confirmed owning it, often calling it his favorite or promoting it heavily (he's known as the "Dogefather" for his influence on the coin).
These are the only cryptocurrencies Elon Musk has directly confirmed owning personally.
There are no public updates or new confirmations beyond these three as of 2026, and he has not disclosed exact amounts (beyond the old 0.25 BTC figure for Bitcoin).
He has distanced himself from various meme coins or tokens that use his name/likeness, stating they are not affiliated with him.
Note that his companies have separate holdings:
Tesla still holds a significant amount of Bitcoin (around 11,500 BTC as of late 2025 filings, worth billions depending on market prices).
SpaceX also reportedly holds Bitcoin.
But for Musk's personal investments in crypto coins, it's Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin.
He has emphasized Bitcoin as an inflation hedge and energy-based asset in recent years, while being most vocal about Dogecoin.
