Tesla Could Take a Big Loss on Its Bitcoin Bets

Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) big bet on Bitcoin (BTC-USD) is beginning to look like a blunder amid a violent crash for cryptocurrencies.

While adding Bitcoin (BTC-USD -14.6%) in early 2021 looked like a wise decision throughout the year and even into early 2022, the tables have turned rather quickly in recent months. The price of Bitcoin specifically has fallen just over 50% in the current quarter, which bodes poorly for Tesla’s (TSLA -7.1%) upcoming quarterly report.

With shares down nearly 50% year to date, bookended by an over 7% drop on Monday, the Bitcoin issue adds yet another headwind to contend with as a number of adverse impacts bear down on the Austin-based automaker.

    The stock price has changed, not the fundamentals of the company.

    Is Tesla going to split its stock in the next few days?

    Maybe Musk needs to rethink.

    We should be greedy when others are fearful.

    Only a dip gives you a good chance to buy it.
