Tesla announced that none of the $1.05 billion worth of its Bitcoin holdings were sold or purchased in the first quarter of 2025. This was the disclosure made in the firm’s Q1 earnings report
Reserve Stays Intact Through Early 2025
Watcher.Guru reported that Tesla didn’t conduct any Bitcoin transactions within Q1 2025, leaving its $1,050,300,000 reserve unchanged. Tesla’s recent report confirmed that there were no buys and sells between January and March. This is consistent with Tesla’s earlier strategy with digital assets, holding long-term positions.
The holding includes a more than $500 million unrealized gain. Tesla initially began to purchase the cryptocurrency early in 2021. The automaker was the first car maker to include digital money in its treasury reserves.
Historical Activity and Portfolio Movements
Tesla last moved a large portion of Bitcoin in Q3 2024, when it transferred $760 million worth from its public wallet. This was the first movement of that scale since the Q2 2022 liquidation. Back then, Tesla sold 75% of its holdings, totaling around $936 million.
Following the Q2 2022 sale, Bitcoin prices experienced a sharp rise. The movement in Q3 2024 also coincided with a price increase to $67,000. These historical events show Tesla’s influence on market behavior when conducting large transactions.
Tesla’s crypto transactions are strategically timed and typically generate market attention. The company has made it a practice to disclose asset updates in quarterly reports.
