Tesla has already made $ 1 billion in profit from Bitcoin



The Bitcoin investment has paid off for Tesla. Thanks to the positive price development of the past few days, the e-car manufacturer has recorded an increase of one billion US dollars.

In February, Tesla had invested $ 1.5 billion in Bitcoin - to maximize profits from otherwise unused capital, according to a statement to the SEC at the time. This plan seems to be workingWhile Tesla's first billion-dollar profit in a quarter was still marred by the lull in the crypto market - Tesla had to write off $ 23 million - the electric car maker can now look forward to a Bitcoin plus of one billion dollars.

Tesla holds Bitcoin worth 2.5 billion

Tesla holds around 42,900 Bitcoinaccording to Buy Bitcoin WorldwideThis is currently equivalent to a value of around 2.5 billion dollars. It is unclear whether Tesla will or already have silvered part of its Bitcoin assets. Most recently, according to CEO Elon Musk, the group sold a ten percent stake at the end of April, making a profit of $ 272 million. Musk made it clear at the time that it was merely a test of whether Bitcoin was suitable as a cash alternative in the group's balance sheet.

Incidentally, Tesla is not the only company that has invested a lot of money in Bitcoin, as the Bitcoinmagazine reportsBut there is currently only one company that holds more Bitcoin than TeslaThis is a MicroStrategy that is said to own around 114,000 Bitcoin. Their value is currently over 6.5 billion dollars. The companies that own more than 1,000 Bitcoin include the payment service provider Square and the crypto exchange Coinbase. It can be assumed that other large companies will invest in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies in the future.

Bitcoin and Co .: Tesla is moving the crypto market

Tesla's financial involvement in the Bitcoin segment, as well as the announcement that the e-car maker would accept Bitcoin as a means of payment for its electric cars, had their share in the crypto rally in April and May, which pushed the Bitcoin price to its all-time high of over 65,000 Dollar drifted. China's crackdown, impending regulatory steps in the US and Europe, and Tesla's roll backward in terms of payments with Bitcoin caused the Bitcoin rate to crash in early summer.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin

MSP Recovery and Tokenology aim to optimize healthcare with the help of Polygon

  MSP Recovery LLC, a Miami, US-based healthcare provider with an estimated enterprise value of $32.6 billion, is partnering with Web3 company Tokenology to jointly launch a new blockchain platform called Lifechain. Lifechain wants to leverage the verifiable and transparent nature of blockchain technology to aggregate medical care claims, medical expense reports and patient data and streamline their processing. For this purpose, MSP Recovery launched its own LifeWallet in January, which already has 1 million users. In addition to the wallet and blockchain platform, an associated crypto token called LifeCoin is also used. The press release explains that the primary purpose of the system is to enable secondary healthcare providers to more effectively bill health insurance companies for their costs. “The number of medical claims tokenized going forward will surpass $50 million per day by 2024. For this we need scalability, security and sustainability, which we have only found with Polygon

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne
