July 25 – Tesla (TSLA, Financial) recently stunned investors when it disclosed that it sold 75% of its bitcoin holdings in mid‑2022, timing the market’s low point.
The electric‑vehicle pioneer bought $1.5 billion of bitcoin in early 2021, banking on its “long‑term potential.” Today, those remaining digital assets sit at $1.24 billion, up from $722 million a year ago, thanks to bitcoin’s 80% rally over the past 12 months.
CEO Elon Musk has shifted focus squarely onto robotaxis and humanoid robots, but the bitcoin sale still looms large. By converting roughly $1.125 billion of bitcoin to cash when prices bottomed, Tesla missed out on over $3.5 billion in gains that the same stash would command now, an opportunity cost that rivals its recent auto‑revenue slump.
The Q2 earnings deck revealed a $284 million crypto gain, which helped push net income to $1.17 billion. Nonetheless, authorities assert that crypto is only an insignificant part of the balance sheet approach of Tesla. With EV demand battered by tariffs and a looming end to tax credits should the current Congress reclaim power in 2025, investors will be interested in seeing how Musk works to strike the right balance between his earlier risky digital-asset plays and his current drastic bets on AI.
