Tesla bought bitcoin for $ 1.5 billion and will add cryptocurrency payment

Elon Musk's Tesla invested in Bitcoin (BTC)$ 1.5 billion, according to the company’s reporting to the Commissionпо ценным бумагам и биржам США (SEC). Кроме того, в ближайшее время клиенты Tesla получат возможность расплачиваться криптовалютой за продукцию компании.

According to the document, in January 2021 Teslaupdated its investment policy to be "more flexible in further diversifying and maximizing returns from cash it does not require to maintain normal operating liquidity." In this regard, an audit committee of the board of directors was formed, thanks to which the company can now “invest a portion of such funds in certain alternative reserve assets,including digital assets, gold bars, gold ETFs and other assets as specified hereinafter. "

“Subsequently, we invested in bitcoin a common$ 1.50 billion under this policy and may acquire and hold digital assets from time to time or over the long term. Moreover, we intend to begin accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment for our products in the near future, subject to applicable laws and initially under limited conditions. We may or may not liquidate it upon receipt. ", - adds the firm.

A whole section of the document is devoted to the risks of digital currencies:

“The proliferation of such assets is enougha young trend, and their long-term adoption by investors, consumers and businesses is impossible to predict. Moreover, lack of material form, reliance on technology for issuance, transaction validation, and decentralization can expose their integrity to the risks of malicious attacks and technology obsolescence. Finally, it is unclear and may not be clear in the future to what extent securities laws and other requirements apply or may apply in the future to such assets. If we hold digital assets and their value falls in relation to our purchase price, it could damage our financial condition. "

Tesla will consider digitalassets as intangible assets with an unlimited life. Such assets will be revalued on a quarterly basis, and if their value falls below the original value, the company will record the difference as an impairment loss.
