Tesla has disclosed in a recent SEC filing that it has bought $1.5 billion worth of bitcoin.
"In January 2021, we updated our investment policy to provide us with more flexibility to further diversify and maximize returns on our cash that is not required to maintain adequate operating liquidity," reads the filing. "Thereafter, we invested an aggregate $1.50 billion in bitcoin under this policy and may acquire and hold digital assets from time to time or long-term."
In addition to the bitcoin purchase, Tesla expects to begin accepting bitcoin as a form of payment for its products "in the near future, subject to applicable laws and initially on a limited basis, which we may or may not liquidate upon receipt."
Bitcoin's price has been soaring on the back of this news. It is currently trading around 12% up at about $43,500.
