電動汽車廠商特斯拉(Tesla)在周三召開營收電話會議之前發(fā)布的一份股東報(bào)告顯示,該公司在第二季度賣掉了其持有的75%的比特幣,價(jià)值9.36億美元。
由世界首富埃隆·馬斯克領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的特斯拉,資產(chǎn)負(fù)債表中僅剩價(jià)值2.18億美元的比特幣,相比之下,第一季度其持有的比特幣價(jià)值12.6億美元。
特斯拉在去年2月進(jìn)行了第一筆比特幣投資,價(jià)值15億美元,此次披露的交易是該公司最大規(guī)模的一次比特幣出售。
比特幣的交易價(jià)格較去年11月的最高點(diǎn)69,000美元下跌了接近66%,令許多投資者苦不堪言。馬斯克似乎對市場時(shí)機(jī)的判斷非常準(zhǔn)確。通過粗略計(jì)算,特斯拉此次將比特幣兌換成法定貨幣得到9.36億美元,而按照初始15億美元投資額的75%計(jì)算得出的金額為11.25億美元,根據(jù)兩者之間的差額,特斯拉初始比特幣投資的損失只有約1.62億美元。

Electric vehicle maker Tesla sold $936 million worth of Bitcoin, 75% of its holdings, in the second quarter, according to a shareholder deck released in anticipation of its earnings call on Wednesday.
The company, led by the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, had just $218 million in Bitcoin remaining on its balance sheet, compared to $1.26 billion in the first quarter.
Tesla’s first investment in Bitcoin was in the amount of $1.5 billion last February, and the current disclosure represents its largest Bitcoin sale.
With the cryptocurrency trading down nearly 66% from its highs of about $69,000 per token last November, many investors have been feeling the pain. Musk seems to have timed the market well, as a rough calculation implies Tesla lost only around $162 million from its initial Bitcoin investment, based on the difference between its $936 million conversion of Bitcoin into fiat and 75% of its initial $1.5 billion outlay, which comes to $1.125 billion.
Yet the sale is still a departure from the bullishness Tesla has shown for the crypto in the past. In its first-quarter earnings Tesla reiterated its commitment to the world’s most popular cryptocurrency.
“We believe in the long-term potential of digital assets both as an investment and also as a liquid alternative to cash,” the company wrote in its first quarter earnings.
On March 14, Musk tweeted he would hold onto the cryptocurrencies he owned.
“I still own & won’t sell my Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Doge fwiw,” he tweeted at the time.
As a general principle, for those looking for advice from this thread, it is generally better to own physical things like a home or stock in companies you think make good products, than dollars when inflation is high.
I still own & wona€?t sell my Bitcoin, Ethereum or Doge fwiw.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 14, 2022
In late June, presumably with most of Tesla’s Bitcoin holdings sold by that point, Musk changed his tune. In an interview with Bloomberg at the Qatar Economic Forum, he said, “I have never said that people should invest in crypto.” He added that he still supported Dogecoin because “people who are not that wealthy” had asked him to.
Absent from that talk was any plug for Bitcoin.
Although Musk mentioned at the time that Tesla and SpaceX had bought Bitcoin, he said “It’s a small percentage of our total cash and cash assets.”
The price of Bitcoin dropped about 2% on the news of Tesla’s fire sale. Bitcoin prices are still up about 18% over the past seven days as the cryptocurrency jumped out of the $20,000 range it had been trading at since mid-June.
