Elon Musk is back to posting about Bitcoin. On March 30, 2026, the billionaire shared a short AI-generated video on X featuring an animated anime character dancing in front of the Bitcoin logo.

The post came after an X user, @TxCryptoSaurus, tagged Musk and challenged him to animate a well-known static Bitcoin anime illustration. Musk replied simply: “Here you go.”

The character comes from a Japanese website called CryptoCurrencyGirls. The site was part of a trend called gijinka, where non-human concepts are turned into human-like characters.

The latest video uses X’s Grok AI tool to animate the character. Grok has been getting more attention recently for creating short AI-generated videos.

Musk and Bitcoin: A Long History

Musk has been vocal about crypto for years. He has said that Bitcoin, unlike fiat currency, is backed by energy and therefore cannot be faked.

He once said on a podcast that money could eventually disappear as a concept and that Bitcoin could take its place.

Tesla bought 43,200 Bitcoin in February 2021. The company sold 75% of its holdings during the 2022 crypto market downturn. It currently holds 11,509 Bitcoin.

SpaceX also started holding Bitcoin in 2021. It currently holds 8,285 coins, making both companies among the largest corporate holders of the cryptocurrency.

Dogecoin Ties Run Deep

Musk is also known for his support of Dogecoin, the meme-based cryptocurrency. His posts about it have caused sharp price swings in the past.

The Department of Government Efficiency, which Musk led under the Trump administration, shares the same acronym as Dogecoin: DOGE.

More recently, Musk reposted an AI video of his avatar holding a Shiba Inu dog — the breed behind Dogecoin’s logo.

Despite all the attention his crypto posts attract, the March 30 Bitcoin anime post did not move the market in any clear way.

Bitcoin was trading at $67,540 at the time of the post, up 1.5% over the previous 24 hours. The move was in line with broader market activity.
