Tesla reveals it didn’t sell any Bitcoin holdings in Q3
13
Tesla reported its Q3 2024 earnings on Oct. 23, revealing that the company has not sold any of the $184,000,000 in digital asset investments during the quarter and has not sold any crypto for five consecutive business quarters.
According to the automotive company’s financial statements, revenue for Q3 was north of $25.18 billion — slightly down compared to Q2 revenue of approximately $25.5 billion. Net income for the quarter was roughly $2.18 billion — a sharp increase from Q2’s roughly $1.5 billion.
The company appeared on the radar of crypto investors in 2021 after Tesla began acquiring Bitcoin (
BTC
) with an initial
purchase of $1.5 billion in BTC
.
Since then, Tesla and other publicly traded firms holding digital assets have been closely watched by market participants, who gauge the behavior of these corporate entities as proxies for institutional interest and to remain abreast of selling pressures that can potentially impact markets.
