Electric car maker Tesla (TSLA) did not buy or sell any bitcoin in the first quarter of 2023, the company reported in its earnings release Wednesday afternoon.
The value of digital assets held by Elon Musk's company at quarter's end was $184 million, flat from the fourth quarter of 2022. The valuation remained flat even as bitcoin (BTC) rose to about $28,500 at the end of the first quarter from $16,500 three months earlier, as current accounting rules don't allow such gains to be booked.
