Tesla’s Bitcoin Holdings Remained Unchanged in Q2, Earnings Report Show
Electric vehicle maker Tesla did not sell any Bitcoin during the second quarter of the year, according to its latest quarterly report.
The company did not engage in any Bitcoin transactions for the eighth consecutive quarter, maintaining its stash of approximately 9,720 Bitcoins, worth $640 million at the current price.
These Bitcoins were acquired at an aggregate cost of around $337 million.
Tesla’s last major Bitcoin transaction occurred in the second quarter of 2022 when it sold over 30,000 Bitcoins for $936 million, representing roughly 75% of its holdings at that time.
Initially, Tesla invested $1.5 billion in Bitcoin in early 2021.
