According to market analysts and reports from The Times of London, last Friday saw Bitcoin surpass the $55,000 mark, pushing the total market value of Bitcoin beyond $1 trillion. Based on market analysts' calculations, if Tesla still holds the same amount of Bitcoin as of January 31, 2021, when they invested $1.5 billion in Bitcoin, the electric car company led by Elon Musk has now made nearly $1 billion in profit, specifically around $930 million, thanks to the increase in Bitcoin's price from around $33,000 per BTC at the beginning of February to over $55,000 per BTC in recent days.

For comparison, Tesla's total revenue from selling electric cars in 2020 was $721 million. Yet, Tesla's investment of just under 1 month has yielded nearly $1 billion in profit, albeit, of course, only on paper, and the price of Bitcoin can change rapidly.

Tesla's disclosed investment of $1.5 billion in Bitcoin was revealed through Tesla's 10-K filings with the SEC, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. They also announced plans to soon accept cryptocurrency as payment for Tesla electric vehicles, CNBC reports. Previously, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon referred to Bitcoin as a 'fraud' back in 2017, but now the same institution predicts Bitcoin could reach $146,000 in the future. However, their recent analysis suggests that one BTC is currently worth around $25,000 due to the significant volatility in the current cryptocurrency market.
