Tesla Sees 220% Increase in Value of Its Bitcoin Investments
Oct 03, 2024 at 07:50 pm
Tesla has seen a remarkable increase in the value of its Bitcoin investments, with its holdings growing by approximately 220% since its last major sell-off.
Tesla’s Bitcoin (BTC) holdings have seen a remarkable surge in value, with the company’s stash growing by approximately 220% since its last major sell-off.
According to data from Arkham Intelligence, as of October 1, Tesla holds 11,509 BTC, valued at around $735.5 million at the time of writing.
In a previous Arkham Intelligence analysis, as reported by CNF, Elon Musk’s other company, SpaceX, holds 8,290 BTC, worth $550 million, as the X owner continues to place his faith in the top cryptocurrency.
The current surge follows Tesla’s last recorded sale in June 2022, where the company sold 29,160 BTC at an average price of $20,000 per coin.
The sale, made to boost the company’s cash reserves amid economic uncertainty, brought in about $586 million. However, this took place just before Bitcoin experienced a major rally, with prices climbing to over $73,000 earlier this year.
Tesla’s Early Moves and Missed Gains
Tesla initially entered the Bitcoin market in February 2021, purchasing 43,000 BTC for $1.5 billion. Shortly after, the company took advantage of the bullish market, selling 10% of its holdings in March 2021 for a profit of roughly $270 million.
Despite these strategic moves, Tesla’s decision to sell before Bitcoin’s rally may have caused the company to miss out on even higher profits. Had Tesla retained its full Bitcoin investment, it would now be valued at around $2.7 billion.
Although Tesla sold a large portion of its holdings, it kept the remaining Bitcoin as a long-term investment in the cryptocurrency. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, a known advocate of Bitcoin, highlighted the liquidity of the asset and its potential to enhance the company’s cash reserves. Despite halting Bitcoin transactions for environmental reasons in 2021, Musk hinted at resuming Bitcoin acceptance once sustainable mining practices are in place.
According to CoinMarketCap data as of today, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $60,677.09, with a decrease of 1.07% in the past day and 5.68% in the past week. See BTC price chart below.
