If You Invested $1,000 In Bitcoin When Tesla Bought The Crypto, Here's How Much You'd Have Today
Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
In 2021, Tesla Inc. purchased $1.5 billion in Bitcoin, which led to an immediate price increase. Tesla later sold a significant portion of its Bitcoin holdings, but still retains $184 million in 'digital assets.' If an investor had put $1,000 into Bitcoin at the time of Tesla's purchase, it would be worth $943.74 today, a 5.6% decline. In comparison, the same investment in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust would have grown by 21.5%, while an investment in Tesla stock would have decreased by 11.6%. Bitcoin's all-time high was in November 2021, when the $1,000 investment would have been worth $1,485.86.
