What is the reason for the sale?

Musk stressed that the company has not sold any Dogecoin, and added that Tesla is open to further investments in BTC.

The publication of Tesla’s report was followed by a drop in the rates of major cryptocurrencies. As of 06:45 UTC, 1 BTC is worth $22 872 (-3,3% overnight). ETH is trading at $1483 (-5,4% overnight).
Earlier it became known that Tesla’s unrealized losses from bitcoin investments in the second quarter of 2022 amounted to $440 million. In February 2021, the company bought $1,5 billion worth of BTC, but against the backdrop of the asset’s rate fall, its investments significantly lost in value.
