According to the company’s Q4 2024 financial results, the electric vehicle manufacturer’s Bitcoin holdings are now valued at over $1 billion, representing a dramatic increase from the previous quarter’s reported value of $184 million. This revaluation was made possible by recently implemented accounting regulations that allow companies to record cryptocurrency assets at their current market value.

Bitcoin Treasuries data confirms that Tesla maintains a position of 9,720 BTC. This significant holding makes Tesla one of the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin among publicly traded companies.

The new accounting standard represents a departure from previous rules that required companies to report cryptocurrency holdings at their lowest value since purchase, known as the “lower of cost or market” method. This change allows for more accurate representation of digital asset values on corporate balance sheets, potentially encouraging more institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies.

This accounting shift comes at a time when institutional interest in cryptocurrency continues to grow, with the recent approval of Bitcoin ETFs in the United States further legitimizing digital assets as a corporate treasury instrument. Tesla’s ability to mark its Bitcoin holdings to market value provides a clearer picture of its digital asset strategy and could set a precedent for other public companies holding cryptocurrency.
