Tesla’s Bitcoin holdings valuation surpasses $1 billion; the profits stand at over $490 million

In this post:

  • Tesla’s BTC holdings valuation skyrocketed above $1 billion after the BTC and crypto market bull run, it recorded profits of over $490 million. 
  • In one week, BTC has had a boost to over $88k, making new all-time highs, with the current price hovering above $85
  • Tesla stocks have also skyrocketed, with today’s growth of 8% and an overall growth of over 40% since Trump’s win during the presidential elections. 

Elon Musk’s Tesla has achieved over $1 billion in valuation for its Bitcoin holdings. The vehicle production company, which had accumulated 11,509 BTC, has now achieved approximately double the valuation of its BTC holdings compared to the beginning of the year. The company also boasts approximately $495 million in profits from its BTC investment. 

The EV maker was one of the big companies that invested heavily in crypto in Bitcoin in 2021. At the time, the company made a $1.5 million investment in the king coin. Tesla mentioned in a U.S. SEC filing that its BTC investment aimed to diversify and increase the company’s returns. The company also made BTC a payment option for its customers, diversifying its payment options. 

The vehicle manufacturing company’s recent profits majorly come from the cryptocurrency hitting new price levels after the November 5 presidential elections. The current valuation is notably nearly double what Tesla recorded at the beginning of this year. 

The crypto market has been making new strides since Trump’s win in the presidential elections, with BTC managing several new all-time highs in the past week. Today, the coin hit $89,956, with many analysts expecting it to cross $90,000 soon. Bitcoin has gained 24.58% in the past seven days and approximately 5.82% at the time of writing. The coin’s current price stands at $87,195.

Tesla stocks also skyrocket along with its BTC holdings valuation

Tesla stocks joined the upward momentum of the crypto community, gaining 8% yesterday before dropping slightly today. The stocks, which gained over 40% since Trump’s election as the 47th U.S. president, are expected to add over $80 billion to the company’s valuation. The current Tesla stock price is $339.28, down $10.72 at about 3.06% compared to yesterday’s performance. 

The EV maker experienced a hard year, only gaining a little over 1% year-to-date before Trump gained the 47th president’s seat. Elon Musk’s continued support for Trump has been beneficial. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO contributed over $100 million to Trump’s campaign this year. 

Trump had previously hinted that he would want to include Musk in his government if he won the elections. In an August interview, the president-elect said he would want Elon Musk in his cabinet. According to Trump, Musk knows how to run a business. However, the president-elect highlighted that the Tesla CEO might lack the time to be involved in Trump’s government. 

Tesla transfers its BTC holdings in October

Tesla moved its Bitcoin holdings for the first time in two years in October, leading to a slight panic in the crypto community. At the time, BTC was moved to new wallets and valued at over $750 million. Some people speculated the company wanted to sell its BTC holdings, which caused a slight selling pressure. Tesla is one of the largest corporate companies holding BTC.

According to on-chain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence, Tesla only rotated wallets, not sales. The firm revealed that Tesla split the 11,509 BTC among seven wallets. A commenter speculated that the electric vehicle company’s move might be more of a security measure in case one wallet is compromised.
