In report Tesla, the world’s largest maker of electric cars, reported annually to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Feb. 7 that it held $0.99 billion worth of bitcoin at the end of 2021.

After being hailed by bitcoin enthusiasts, Musk became their sworn nemesis overnight when he announced that Tesla was discontinuing support for payments due to carbon emissions discontinued bitcoin.
