- Tesla owns over $1.25 billion in Bitcoin, consolidating its long-term commitment to cryptocurrency.
- Organizations and countries are increasingly accumulating Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset.
Elon Musk's influence in the cryptocurrency field has been clear through his support of Dogecoin [DOGE]. Now, Tesla draws attention with its large Bitcoin [BTC] holdings.
Tesla Maintains an Optimistic View of Bitcoin
According to Arkham Intelligence, Tesla currently owns over $1.25 billion in Bitcoin, confirming its role as a large institutional HODLer.
The electric vehicle giant holds approximately 11,900 BTC, which at current market valuation emphasizes its long-term belief in Bitcoin's future.
This amount reflects Tesla's quiet optimistic stance on Bitcoin despite recent price fluctuations.
Tesla's continued confidence in Bitcoin seems to be driven by strong market performance and increasing acceptance among large institutions.
With BTC currently trading above 108,000, more companies are recognizing its long-term value.
Tesla's Bitcoin History
Notably, Tesla first invested in Bitcoin in 2021 with $1.5 billion, and once considered accepting BTC payments for its electric vehicles.
Although it later suspended BTC payments due to environmental concerns and reduced some holdings, most of the position remains intact.
Tesla's Q3 2025 financial report confirms no changes in Bitcoin reserves this year, eliminating speculation about strategy shifts.
However, despite the increase in Bitcoin, Tesla's stock slightly declined to $339.34, dropping 0.50% in the past 24 hours, reflecting overall market decline as Bitcoin also dropped over 2%.
Strategy as a Guiding Principle?
Nevertheless, the company's perspective aligns with the confident wave of BTC from institutions, exemplified by Michael Saylor's Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), which recently purchased an additional 1,895 BTC at a Medium price of 95,167.
Holding over 555,000 BTC, Strategy remains the world's largest Bitcoin-holding company.
Not just corporations, even governments are joining the race to build strategic Bitcoin reserves, emphasizing the global shift towards accepting this digital asset as a long-term value storage.
