The company held more than 1.5 billion dollars in bitcoin on Q1 and has reported only one sale to \u201ctest the market\u2019s liquidity\u201d according to its CEO, Elon Musk. The cryptocurrency community has been patiently waiting in anticipation to see the disclosures stemming from Tesla\u2019s forthcoming earnings report.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Tesla\u2019s Earnings Call Generates Expectation in the Bitcoin Community<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/ir.tesla.com\/press-release\/tesla-announces-date-second-quarter-2021-financial-results-and-webcast\">upcoming<\/a> earnings call of Tesla, the leading electric car manufacturer, has generated expectations in the Bitcoin community due to the large <a href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/BTC\">bitcoin (BTC)<\/a> stash the company holds on its balance sheet. The CEO of Tesla, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/elon-musk-spacex-owns-bitcoin-personally-owns-btc-ethereum-dogecoin-pump-dont-dump\/\">Elon Musk<\/a>, jumped on the bitcoin bandwagon last quarter when he announced Tesla\u2019s purchase of $1.5 billion earlier this year. The current status of this bitcoin stash is unknown, and it will be revealed on Monday if the company sold, held tightly, or bought the dip during Q2.<\/p>\n<p>There is just one publicly recorded sale of Tesla\u2019s bitcoin holdings. The company reportedly <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/elon-musk-owns-bitcoin-has-not-sold-any-tesla-hold-btc-long-term-sold-to-prove-liquidity\/\">sold<\/a> $272 million in bitcoin last quarter to test the liquidity of the market. At the time, the news created a temporary slump in prices. However, Musk was quick to state that this was just a test to ensure the market could manage these kinds of sales.<\/p>\n<p>Then, Musk had a change of heart about the Bitcoin network and its effects on the environment, something that created a schism between the entrepreneur and the crypto community.<\/p>\n<p><!-- growjs zone placement 31 -->    <!-- end of growjs zone placement --> <\/p>\n<h2>Tesla Promoted a Green Narrative<\/h2>\n<p>Tesla <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/elon-musk-tesla-suspended-accepting-bitcoin-environmental-issues\/\">stopped<\/a> supporting bitcoin for payments for electric cars due to environmental concerns stated last May, a fact that started the recommendations for a more effective and greener cryptocurrency for payments by the company. At that time, Musk also signaled his personal preference for <a href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/DOGE\">dogecoin (DOGE)<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/elon-musk-doubles-down-on-dogecoin-tweets-about-ideal-improvements\/\">announced<\/a> the changes the Dogecoin network would have to complete to fulfill this role.
