As a seasoned researcher with a keen interest in both the automotive and cryptocurrency industries, I find Tesla’s recent Bitcoin transactions intriguing. The silence from Tesla and Elon Musk regarding the purpose of these movements only fuels speculation.
Speculation arises that Tesla, founded by Elon Musk, hasn’t disposed of its approximately $780 million in Bitcoin, even though it recently transferred these funds from its digital wallets for the first time in two years, leading some to think the company might have been offloading its BTC holdings.
Arkham Intelligence, a blockchain analysis company, has recently disclosed on social media that they suspect the transactions involving Tesla’s digital wallets were simply shifts or rotations of Bitcoin holdings, with Tesla continuing to possess the Bitcoin.
Last week, the company transferred all of its 11,509 Bitcoins to fresh cryptocurrency wallets. The majority of these Bitcoins were sent to wallets associated with the initials “1Fnhp” and “1LERL”.
It appears that we previously mentioned that Tesla had shifted its Bitcoin holdings, but the Bitcoins themselves have not been sold or transferred elsewhere. Instead, they were moved to fresh digital wallets. The total amount of Bitcoin owned by Tesla is approximately 11,509 units, valued at around $776.9 million.

It appears that the motives for these transactions are not evident, as neither Tesla nor Elon Musk have provided any explanations regarding these money transfers. Interestingly, these wallets have not shown any activity since they received the funds.
Due to these actions, some within the crypto community hypothesized that Tesla might have transferred its Bitcoins to the digital wallets of custodian services, with the intention of utilizing its Bitcoin reserves in the future for various purposes such as obtaining loans secured by them or earning interest on them.
This month, the Bitcoin investment-focused Japanese company, Metaplanet, changed the target price for its BTC put option contracts to increase the earnings from its Bitcoin assets.
In simpler terms, an “options roll-up” is a tactic used by investors where they close their current options contract and open a fresh one for the same option, usually at a later time with a higher price point, like $66,000 in this instance. This strategy is employed to limit potential losses or take advantage of market movements.
In February 2021, Tesla significantly entered the Bitcoin market by investing an impressive $1.5 billion. A year later, they decided to sell approximately 75% of their Bitcoin holdings, with the primary justification being the requirement for liquid funds.
