Twitter user CryptoWhale suggested that an unpleasant surprise could await bitcoin holders in the next quarter if Tesla announces the sale of all of its remaining coins.

"Considering how much hate is poured out on Musk, I won't blame him.", - added CryptoWhale.

"Really"- Musk supported him.

Against this background, the bitcoin rate resumed its decline andset a lower minimum below $ 43,000. After just one word from Mask, the cryptocurrency fell by $ 4,500. Tesla invested $ 1.5 billion in bitcoin at the beginning of the year and recorded part of the profit in the first quarter.
