Bitcoin news broke late Tuesday as Tesla revealed it held a steady 11,509 BTC in Q1 2026, valued at approximately $88 million. The company reported a $173 million after-tax impairment, as Bitcoin prices declined from $90,000 to $68,000. Despite missing revenue forecasts, Tesla still posted a profit above estimates, sending shares up 4% in after-hours trading.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Tesla disclosed it made no adjustments to its Bitcoin holdings in the first quarter of 2026, maintaining a position of 11,509 BTC, worth approximately $880 million at current prices.

Due to the decline in Bitcoin's price from approximately $90,000 to $68,000, the company recorded an after-tax fair value loss of approximately $173 million on its digital assets.

Nevertheless, Tesla's overall financial results were mixed, with earnings exceeding expectations but revenue slightly below market forecasts, driving its stock up about 4% in after-hours trading.
