Crypto Winter Shrinks Tesla's Bitcoin Investment by Nearly $600M

 


The Bitcoin Treasuries website tracks the performance of well-known Bitcoin investments, which for months have not been led by the mining companies, but by the well-known Bitcoin advocates Microstrategy and Tesla.


A look at the most recent overview should certainly bring tears to the eyes of Michael Saylor , the head of Microstrategy. At around $2.7 billion, his loss from Bitcoin investments exceeds his company's total market capitalization of around $1.9 billion.


Tesla with better proportions can remain calm

But of course Tesla cannot be satisfied with the performance of the system either. Of the $1.5 billion invested, only $916 million would remain if the position were liquidated today. That would correspond to a whopping loss of almost 600 million dollars.

In contrast to Microstrategy, however, the dimensions fit the company in such a way that Tesla does not need to worry. Because the Bitcoin stake accounts for only around ten percent of the cash position and around 0.1 percent of the total market capitalization of the US electric car maker. Bitcoin Treasuries assumes an average purchase price of around $48,000 per BTC. Microstrategy had also made additional purchases at much higher prices.

Where the two companies are similar again is the planned handling of the investment. By announcing its investment , Tesla had made it clear that the position was not intended for active trading. Rather, Tesla wanted to hodle the bitcoins. This is also the approach at Microstrategy .


In this respect, neither one nor the other has suffered a real loss so far. When spring and even summer follow the crypto winter, the tide would quickly turn for both major investors. After all, Tesla has already announced a value of over two billion dollars for its Bitcoin investment. So the only questions are how diamond are the hands of Tesla boss Elon Musk and Microstrategy boss Michael Saylor and where is the crypto market headed in the longer term?

Not a bear market: According to the analyst, the current BTC decline is the same as in previous Bitcoin cycles

  According to one analyst, Bitcoin is behaving the same overall this year as it has in previous cycles. Bitcoin ( BTC ) will have “at least one more boost higher” before hitting all-time highs this halving cycle, analysts are currently saying. The well-known analyst TechDev has spoken on Twitter about the current state of BTC and said that contrary to many opinions, nothing unusual has happened in BTC/USD in 2022.

Back then, the number of new addresses made lower highs while the price made higher highs. "In 4 of the 6 corrections, there was divergence with price ma...

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...
