You have probably noticed how a simple tweet from Elon Musk can shake the cryptocurrency market. It's crazy, but it's the reality. The guy has literally become the "Dogefather" because his moves influence prices so much. But beyond the Twitter spectacle, what cryptocurrencies does he actually own? That's a question many are asking.
Let's start with Bitcoin. In 2021, Tesla invested 1.5 billion dollars in BTC, and that was a huge signal for the entire industry. Musk saw it as digital gold, a true store of value. Tesla has sold a large part since then, but Elon confirmed he still holds personal Bitcoin. Logical, right? It's the king of cryptocurrencies, with the largest market dominance.
Next is Ethereum. It was announced during the "The ₿ Word" conference in 2021 that Elon also had a position in ETH. Ethereum isn't just something that moves: it's the infrastructure behind DeFi, NFTs, and almost all innovative blockchain applications. Musk understands that it's a key element of the sector.
But Musk's real favorite is Dogecoin. No doubt about it. He calls it "the people's cryptocurrency" and even considered accepting it at Tesla and SpaceX. His support has completely changed DOGE's trajectory. Why? Because he loves the project's very origins, but also because he truly believes in Doge's potential as a means of exchange with very low fees.
After that, it gets more vague. There are many speculations about other cryptocurrencies he might hold. For example, Shiba Inu: Musk denied holding it, but his tweets about "Floki" and other dog-themed coins caused serious market movements. And then there's Floki Inu, named after his own Shiba dog. That drew attention, but there's no proof he actually owns it.
What’s interesting about Elon Musk and cryptocurrencies is that his influence goes far beyond what he owns. His positions are real (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin), but it’s mainly his narrative that moves markets. And that’s something all traders on Gate or elsewhere should keep in mind when watching price movements.
