Tesla is reportedly holding on to its initial stake in Bitcoin after the announcement of the cryptocurrency's most recent spike.
According to Bloomberg, the electric vehicles manufacturer previously declared that it had invested $1.5 billion USD into Bitcoin, but sold 10% of its stake back in April. Earlier this week, Tesla also revealed that their earnings from "digital assets totaled to approximately $1.26 billion USD at the end of Q3.

In other Tesla news, the electric vehicle company posted a record Q3 revenue and profit.
