Tesla's Remaining Bitcoin Holdings Are Worth $902 Million as of September 2026
In February 2021, Tesla Inc (TSLA) made headlines by investing $1.5 billion in Bitcoin, becoming one of the first major public companies to hold cryptocurrency on its balance sheet. The move was seen as a strong endorsement of Bitcoin's potential as both an alternative store of value and corporate treasury asset. However, during the 2022 crypto downturn, Tesla sold approximately 75% of its holdings, reducing its position to around 11,509 BTC. As of September 8, 2026, with Bitcoin trading at roughly $78,700 per coin, Tesla's remaining stake is valued at about $902 million—still below the original investment despite a broader market recovery. Today, Tesla no longer plays an active role in buying or selling large amounts of Bitcoin. Instead, it has become a long-term holder, with its position fluctuating alongside the market without significant changes to its strategy.
