Tesla’s Bitcoin Bonanza: $600M Gain in Q4 Thanks to New Accounting Rule

Tesla’s fourth-quarter financial report revealed a Bitcoin windfall of $600 million, thanks to a new accounting rule that allows companies to showcase their virtual assets’ market value on balance sheets 📊🐂.

The 2023 Financial Accounting Standards Board rule, which took effect in mid-December, permitted the incorporation of the estimated market value of crypto assets in corporate records.
