Tesla’s Bitcoin Investment Now Drops To $440 Million!
Tesla’s Bitcoin Investment Now Drops to $440 Million!
The value of Tesla’s Bitcoin investment decreased by $440 million in the second quarter of 2022’s financial report due to an ongoing downward trend in the cryptocurrency market.
According to financial report data from the first quarter of 2021, the electric car company run by Elon Musk previously purchased Bitcoin for $1.5 billion.
In an effort to convert some of their cash holdings to bitcoin, this is a step. Along with Tesla, a number of publicly traded companies, such as MicroStrategy, Block Inc., and the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, have converted a portion of their cash reserves into Bitcoin.
With the price of Bitcoin falling drastically to a level of $17,744.9 on June 19, 2022, many companies placing bets on it have recently come under pressure. Since November 2020, this is the first time for Bitcoin.
Tesla’s BTC investment was reduced to about $820 million by the price of Bitcoin at the end of June or on the last day of the second quarter of 2022.
While Bitcoin’s market value was about $1.96 billion, Tesla declared holdings totaling $1.26 billion in the first quarter of 2022. Telsa was unable to report the return on its investment until the asset was sold due to accounting rules.
This implies that Tesla will probably see a reduction in their Bitcoin holdings of about $440 million, or the equivalent of 7% of the total annual earnings of the firm in 2021.
The interest in Bitcoin has been dampened by rising interest rates and inflation, and the selling price has been affected by a number of crises affecting key participants in the cryptocurrency market, such as the Terra project, Celsius Network, Three Arrows Capital, Babel Finance, BlockFi, Voyager, and CoinFLEX.
The value of Tesla has decreased by 44% this year due to a general sell-off. Elon Musk’s business has always had trouble meeting the demand for Tesla cars. This was partially caused by Covid-19, which shut down the Gigafactory factory and caused a lockdown in Shanghai, China.
On February 8, 2021, Tesla declared that it has purchased Bitcoin for the first time in the amount of $1.5 billion. By investing a portion of the firm’s capital in alternative reserve assets, the firm may further diversify and maximize profits. Digital assets, gold bars, money exchanged on gold exchanges, and other assets to be defined in the future are some examples of these alternative reserve assets.
Then, Tesla disclosed in its first quarter 2021 financial report, which was made public on April 26, 2021, that it had sold $272 million in Bitcoin, increasing the total value of its holdings to $1.311 billion.
Tesla stated in its second quarter 2021 financial report that as of June 30, 2021, the value of the Bitcoin they now possess is still $1.311 billion. Tesla did not acquire or dispose of any digital assets during this time.
Tesla did not change its Bitcoin holdings as they approach the third quarter of 2021. However, in order to account for the reduction in price at the time, they must record a loss of $51 million in the value of the Bitcoin they now control. They now have a $1.260 billion position in the value of bitcoin.
