    Visualizing Tesla’s transfers of BTC out to 12 new wallets
    Visualizing Tesla’s transfers of BTC out to 12 new wallets

    Tesla has moved their BTC for the first time in two years, transferring a total of 12K BTC (~$760M) in a single hour over four batches of outflows. The BTC was transferred from a set of known Tesla wallets to 12 new unknown wallets, leaving the original wallets with nothing more than dust.

    While the motive for the transfers has not yet been established, the transfers have stirred up rumors that Tesla is finally selling their BTC holdings after having held for years since buying the asset in 2021, driving up fears of a potential short-term sell-off.

    However, others remain more skeptical, doubting that Elon Musk would sell off Tesla’s Bitcoin holdings right before the upcoming US Presidential Elections in November, especially with Musk backing Donald Trump, the pro-crypto Republican candidate for the elections. Moreover, Elon Musk’s SpaceX holds a substantial $550M in BTC as well, which has also remained untouched since being acquired 2 years ago.
