Tesla said in the statement that, “Thereafter, we invested an aggregate of $1.50 billion in bitcoin under this policy and may acquire and hold digital assets from time to time or long-term. Moreover, we expect to begin accepting bitcoin as a form of payment for our products in the near future, subject to applicable laws and initially on a limited basis, which we may or may not liquidate upon receipt.”

On hearing such report, Investors pushed the price of Bitcoin to $44k when it became public knowledge that Tesla allocated 10% of its cash holdings in Bitcoin.

The $807 billion car company by market value, further disclosed it was aware of the alternative assets class price volatility and the fact it could be exposed to malicious attacks.

The statement further added that “The prices of digital assets have been in the past and may continue to be highly volatile, including as a result of various associated risks and uncertainties.

“For example, the prevalence of such assets is a relatively recent trend, and their long-term adoption by investors, consumers, and businesses is unpredictable.

“Moreover, their lack of a physical form, their reliance on technology for their creation, existence, and transactional validation, and their decentralization may subject their integrity to the threat of malicious attacks and technological obsolescence.”
