Thanks to the sale of bitcoins, Tesla managed to reach a record profit for the quarter – $438 million. The previous record was set in the third quarter of 2020 and amounted to $331 million.

The fact that Tesla invested $1.5 billion in Bitcoin became known back in early February.  Since the end of March, the company has provided an opportunity to pay for the purchase of its electric vehicles with bitcoin. So far, only US residents can do this, but the company is going to start accepting payments in bitcoins outside the country by the end of the year.
