Tesla Buys Bitcoin (2/21)

February 8, 2021 By dkreinces

Today, Elon Musk and Tesla (TSLA) reported a $1.5 billion bitcoin investment pushing Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) up almost 16% in early trading. Over the past 5.8 years since inception, GBTC has strongly outperformed the Nasdaq-100 3x (TQQQ) and Tesla (TSLA). In fact, GBTC delivered 91x the S&P 500 total return over the same period!

At ETF PM, we explained our recent GBTC purchases back in October 2020, and in January we added GBTC to the investable benchmark portfolios. Below, see links to our prior notes on bitcoin and Tesla, and be sure to watch “Bitcoin – The End of Money As We Know It.” In this YouTube video version, stay for the credits where the paper currency taunts you to buy bitcoin.

ETF PM has long positions in GBTC, TQQQ and TSLA. 

Prior notes on GBTC: 1/21, 12/20, 11/20 b, 11/20, 10/20, 12/17. Tesla: 7/20, 6/20, 1/20, 6/17, 5/17, 4/17, 2/17, 7/16, 9/15, 7/15, 9/14, 8/14, 6/14, 2/14 b, 2/14, 1/14 b, 1/14, 12/13, 11/13, 10/13, 8/13.
