Arkham Data: Tesla Holds 11,509 BTC, Just One Step Away From $1 Billion in Value
On September 23, according to official data from blockchain analytics platform Arkham, Tesla currently holds 11,509 bitcoins, which—based on current prices—are worth about $992 million.
Notably, although Tesla’s number of bitcoin holdings has remained unchanged since early 2025 (always 11,509 BTC), its market value fluctuates in real time with swings in the price of bitcoin.
Looking back at Tesla’s history of bitcoin investment, the company first entered the market in February 2021, buying BTC for about $1.5 billion, with an average purchase cost of roughly $350,000. At one point, it became one of the publicly listed companies holding the most bitcoin globally.
After that, Tesla went through partial sales in 2021, realizing a $272 million profit; and further selling and reducing holdings in 2022, generating $936 million in cash proceeds—ultimately stabilizing its holdings at the current 11,509 BTC.
In 2025, Tesla’s 10-K filing submitted to the SEC for the first time officially disclosed this exact figure, which matches on-chain tracking data precisely.
It is also worth noting that another company owned by Musk, SpaceX, currently holds about 18,712 bitcoins—already exceeding Tesla’s total holdings.
At present, the combined holdings of these two companies total more than 30,000 BTC, making Musk’s business empire one of the largest groups of bitcoin holders among non-crypto-native enterprises worldwide.
Right now, Tesla’s remaining bitcoin holdings are about to cross the $1 billion mark. Do you think it will choose to reduce its holdings after breaking through? Musk’s “laid-back” holdings versus a strategy of continued accumulation— which do you prefer? Share your thoughts in the comments!
