Tesla's average acquisition cost for its Bitcoin was around $30,100 per coin, and the fair value was $1.91 billion as of December 31, 2024, according to the filing.

The company had sold 75% of its Bitcoin holdings in the second quarter of 2023, generating net income of $936 million from the sales.

However, Tesla CEO Elon Musk later stated that the company would resume accumulating and holding Bitcoin.

"We sold a bunch of our Bitcoin in Q2 because we were uncertain about the COVID shutdowns in China and needed the cash," Musk said during a July 2023 earnings call.

"But we fully intended to restore our Bitcoin position, which we did in Q3. We increased our Bitcoin holdings slightly in Q3 and we expect to continue to hold Bitcoin."

Bitcoin experienced a strong rally in 2025, rising from around $16,000 at the beginning of the year to over $22,000 by March.

Bitcoin's price涨幅 later slowed down, but the cryptocurrency still managed to close the year at around $30,000, up significantly from its 2024 closing price of $16,400.
