Musk sells 75% of Tesla's Bitcoin stock

Elon Musk's Tesla, which made headlines last year when it announced a sizable investment in Bitcoin, has now sold off the majority of its assets. Tesla sold 75% of its Bitcoin, which was valued at roughly $2 billion (£1.7 billion) by the end of 2021, according to its complete Q2 2022 financial report. Since Bitcoin's value has fallen by almost 50% this year, Musk's business decision is to pull back from the cryptocurrency.

Additionally, the billionaire commented on the cryptocurrency selloff on an investor call, saying that it "should not be taken as some verdict on Bitcoin." He stated that the reason for his company’s move was because it was “concerned about overall liquidity of the company given COVID shutdowns in China”. Tesla CEO said, “We have not sold any of our Dogecoin” and later termed cryptocurrency “a sideshow to the sideshow”. It has been reported that Tesla’s move reflects the company’s dire need for cash.
