Tesla’s SEC Filing Shows Bitcoin Fair Market Value of $191 Million

Tesla's SEC Filing Shows Bitcoin Fair Market Value of $191 Million

Tesla’s latest filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shows that the fair market value of the company’s bitcoin holdings was $191 million at the end of 2022. In addition, billionaire Elon Musk’s electric car company recorded $204 million of impairment losses resulting from changes in the prices of bitcoin.

Tesla’s Digital Assets and Its Bitcoin’s Fair Value

Elon Musk’s electric car company, Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA), filed its annual report for the year ended Dec. 31, 2022, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Monday.

The filing shows that the fair market value of Tesla’s BTC holdings was $191 million at the end of 2022 while their carrying value was $184 million, as Bitcoin.com News previously reported. “As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, the carrying value of our digital assets held was $184 million and $1.26 billion, which reflects cumulative impairments of $204 million and $101 million, each period, respectively,” the company detailed, elaborating:

The fair market value of such digital assets held as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $191 million and $1.99 billion, respectively.

The filing also notes that during the two years ended Dec. 31, 2022, Tesla “purchased and/or received an immaterial amount and $1.50 billion, respectively, of digital assets.”

The electric car company invested $1.5 billion in bitcoin in Q1 2021 but sold 75% of its holdings in Q2 2022. The company also accepts the meme cryptocurrency dogecoin (DOGE) for some merchandise, which accounted for an “immaterial amount” of digital assets as stated in the SEC filing.

Tesla’s $204 Million in Impairment Losses From Bitcoin

The electric car company explained that digital assets are considered “indefinite-lived intangible assets under applicable accounting rules.” Therefore, “any decrease in their fair values below our carrying values for such assets at any time subsequent to their acquisition will require us to recognize impairment charges,” Tesla described, adding:

In the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded $204 million of impairment losses resulting from changes to the carrying value of our bitcoin and gains of $64 million on certain conversions of bitcoin into fiat currency by us.

Since its BTC acquisition, Tesla only sold its bitcoin once, which was in the second quarter of 2022. The company sold 75% of its bitcoin holdings which added $936 million in cash to its balance sheet. CEO Elon Musk explained at the time that the company is “certainly open to increasing our bitcoin holdings in [the] future,” noting that the sale was due to concerns about the company’s overall liquidity, “given Covid shutdowns in China.”

Tesla’s SEC filing also states:

We may increase or decrease our holdings of digital assets at any time based on the needs of the business and our view of market and environmental conditions.

Kucoin Hacked for $150 Million in Bitcoin; Bitfinex and Tether Freeze $33 Million of the Stolen Funds

Cryptocurrency exchange Kucoin may have been hacked for $150 million in bitcoin and multiple ERC20 tokens. The Singapore-based exchange confirmed the September 25 security breach, but did not disclose the amount stolen. “Bitcoin, ERC-20 and, other tokens in Kucoin’s hot wallets were transferred out of the exchange,” said Kucoin in an update on Saturday. Meanwhile, Bitfinex and Tether, issuers of the centralized stablecoin USDT , immediately froze a combined $33 million worth of USDT suspected to be part of the funds looted in the Kucoin hack – an action that has stirred questions around the influence of centralized platforms. Paolo Ardoino, chief technology officer of both entities, tweeted that Bitfinex froze $13 million USDT on EOS as part of the hack. Tether froze $20 million USDT “sitting on this ethereum address as a precautionary measure,” he said. In its update, Kucoin maintains that funds in its cold wallets (offline storage, which is less susceptible to hacks) ar...
