Tesla’s Bitcoin Holdings Surpass $1 Billion Again Amid Crypto Rally
Tesla's early investment in Bitcoin has turned out to be a profitable move, with the automaker’s cryptocurrency holdings now exceeding $1 billion.
Currently, Tesla owns 11,509 BTC, whose value has surged as Bitcoin reached an all-time high of $89,560, according to Arkham Intelligence .
In 2021, Tesla announced a $1.5 billion Bitcoin purchase, aiming to diversify its assets and enhance returns, as stated in an SEC filing. As of November, Tesla’s Bitcoin holdings have yielded nearly $495 million in gains, boosted by the cryptocurrency’s revival this year.
This increase stems from Bitcoin’s rally rather than any recent purchases by Tesla. Bitcoin’s market cap has also reached $1.75 trillion, surpassing silver in global rankings, as institutional enthusiasm grows with anticipation of U.S. Bitcoin ETFs and a favorable political landscape.
