Elon Musk's Tesla, one of the biggest corporate owners of bitcoin , transferred nearly all $760 million of the cryptocurrency it owns to unknown wallets, raising the possibility the carmaker is selling.
Wallets associated with the electric car manufacturer on Tuesday moved more than 11,500 bitcoin to wallets whose ownership is unknown, according to crypto data firm Arkham Intelligence. The Tesla wallets only retain about $6.65 worth of BTC – essentially nothing.

Tesla is the fourth-biggest holder of bitcoin among publicly traded U.S. companies, per BitcoinTreasuries data. Only software company MicroStrategy and bitcoin mining firms MARA Holdings and Riot Platforms have larger stockpiles.
Tesla bought $1.5 billion worth of bitcoin in February 2021, and at some point owned as much as $2.5 billion worth, according to Arkham data. However, the firm sold 75% of its holdings in early 2022 at a loss. When Arkham Intelligence added the car maker's bitcoin wallet tracking feature to its dashboard in March, it held about 11,509 bitcoin, worth roughly $770 million.
Musk had also previously announced, back when Tesla first acquired its stash, that the company would soon accept bitcoin payments, but the plans were dropped shortly after due to environmental concerns.
While some of Musk's companies – including Tesla and SpaceX – hold bitcoin on their balance sheets, it is unclear how much the X (formerly Twitter) owner believes in the cryptocurrency himself. In an interview broadcast on YouTube in July, Musk said that he thinks "there's some merit in bitcoin, and maybe some other crypto," but that his soft spot was for dogecoin .
UPDATE (Oct. 15, 2024, 22:30 UTC): Adds more details on Tesla's bitcoin journey.
CORRECTION (Oct. 15, 2024, 22:30 UTC): Fixes name of MARA Holdings.
