Tesla Falls Short of Q1 Revenue Goals Yet Maintains Hold on 11,509 BTC—Reaching $1 Billion Value Once More
/Article


Tesla's financial report for Q1 of 2025 indicates that the company holds around 11,509 BTC, valued at over $951 million, despite falling short of revenue expectations. This is a reduction from their initial purchase in February 2021 and the sale of 75% of their Bitcoin holdings in July 2022.

Although Tesla's Q1 revenue was $19.34 billion, which missed market expectations of $21.37 billion significantly, the electric vehicle segment saw a 20% year-over-year decline due to decreased deliveries and production by 13% and 16%, respectively.

The company's stock price has decreased by 41% in 2025 due to controversies involving CEO Elon Musk's governmental roles and protests against Tesla. Tesla's decision not to make any Bitcoin transactions this quarter indicates their chosen strategy of holding onto Bitcoin as a long-term investment, along with other major firms like Strategy and Metaplanet.

Elon Musk's trust in Bitcoin's long-term potential is evident through Tesla's continued holding of Bitcoin amidst market fluctuations. However, Musk's plans to shift focus back to Tesla from DOGE in May raises questions about the future of Tesla's BTC holdings, with discussions on potential restructuring of their financial strategy. The cryptocurrency market is expected to experience volatility until mid-May 2025, with projections of stabilization in Q2 and significant growth in Q3 due to various factors like post-halving cycles and regulatory clarity in the US.
