SLianGuaiceX CEO Elon Musk announced publicly in 2021 that the company had acquired a certain amount of Bitcoin. Previously, a filing submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission showed that another company co-founded by Musk, Tesla, planned to purchase $1.5 billion worth of crypto assets. This news may have caused the BTC price to reach a new all-time high of over $43,000.
According to Tesla’s Q2 2023 earnings report, the company has sold its $184 million worth of Bitcoin holdings, leaving only $184 million worth of Bitcoin. Tesla reported that it liquidated over 30,000 Bitcoins, worth $936 million, in Q2 2022, accounting for approximately 75% of its initial $1.5 billion Bitcoin holdings.
Musk is one of the richest people in the world and frequently comments on certain cryptocurrencies, including Dogecoin and Bitcoin, on social media. He even briefly changed the Twitter logo to a DOGE Shiba Inu. Since acquiring Twitter (later renamed X) for $44 billion in October 2022, he has stated that the platform could provide “the entire financial world,” including banking and payment services.
The timing of SLianGuaiceX’s Bitcoin sell-off is unclear, but the cryptocurrency market experienced a severe crash in 2022 due to the collapse of major companies, including Terraform Labs. Many tech companies and financial institutions continue to hold Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
