每次比特幣價(jià)格跳水使埃隆?馬斯克的高調(diào)投資顯得十分魯莽時(shí),特斯拉的股價(jià)就會(huì)迅速大幅反彈,而那些加密貨幣的早期擁躉就又會(huì)擺出“料事如神”的樣子。特斯拉比特幣投資再次發(fā)生驚人逆轉(zhuǎn),賬面的虧損逐漸消失了。特斯拉如今擁有4.2萬(wàn)枚比特幣,每枚比特幣的平均價(jià)格為3.17萬(wàn)美元。今年4月比特幣達(dá)到6.4萬(wàn)美元高點(diǎn)時(shí),馬斯克的賭注已幾乎實(shí)現(xiàn)了100%的實(shí)現(xiàn)和未實(shí)現(xiàn)收益,即15億美元。但隨著價(jià)格下跌,這種優(yōu)勢(shì)逐漸減弱。6月20日,比特幣跌至近幾個(gè)月最低點(diǎn)29360美元。特斯拉的所有收益,包括第一季度出售10%的股票獲得的1.28億美元利潤(rùn),以及仍在賬面上的比特幣,都虧空了。
但此后,比特幣的價(jià)格又重回巔峰。馬斯克在人們心中的形象改變了,就像回到了《周六夜現(xiàn)場(chǎng)》的節(jié)目里,從江輪賭徒變成了飛入太空的動(dòng)作片明星。僅僅10天之后,也就是6月30日的季末,比特幣的價(jià)格飆升至35041美元,使特斯拉的比特幣總資產(chǎn)上升了19%,達(dá)到14.7億美元。截至8月6日收盤,比特幣價(jià)格又上漲了22%,至42,831美元。
6月20日觸底后,特斯拉的投資組合從12.33億美元躍升至至18億美元。在短短兩周內(nèi),從盈虧平衡變?yōu)橘~面收益5.7億美元。
按照特斯拉的標(biāo)準(zhǔn),這算是一筆巨款了。第二季度,這家電動(dòng)汽車制造商公布了有史以來(lái)最好的季度業(yè)績(jī),稅前收入和監(jiān)管抵免銷售收入共計(jì)9.39億美元,沖抵了第一季度的虧損。因此,從6月20日到8月6日,特斯拉通過(guò)比特幣獲得的收益與第二季度銷售電動(dòng)汽車和電池的收益相當(dāng)。
用公司資金投資一項(xiàng)波動(dòng)性很大的資產(chǎn),馬斯克的壓力似乎一點(diǎn)也不小。趕上高點(diǎn)拋出,特斯拉可能會(huì)多賺一個(gè)季度的利潤(rùn);但如果投資失敗,就可能抹去整個(gè)季度的利潤(rùn)。如果特斯拉能在第一季度盈利大幅增長(zhǎng)的基礎(chǔ)上繼續(xù)發(fā)展下去,股東們對(duì)特斯拉豪賭比特幣的擔(dān)憂情緒也會(huì)隨之緩解。如果特斯拉不能實(shí)現(xiàn)遠(yuǎn)大的盈利目標(biāo),他們將很快會(huì)對(duì)馬斯克的冒險(xiǎn)投資感到失望。(財(cái)富中文網(wǎng))

Every time Bitcoin crashes to make Elon Musk's famous bet look reckless, Tesla's stake rebounds big and fast, handing the lead cryptocurrency's fans still another "we told you so" moment. A amazing reversal flipping Tesla's holdings from red to black just happened again. Tesla now owns 42,000 Bitcoin at an average cost of $31,700 per coin. At Bitcoin's high point of over $64,000 in April, Musk's wager had garnered realized and unrealized gains of almost 100%, or $1.5 billion. But that bounty gradually eroded as its price drifted downward, and, on June 20, Bitcoin slipped to a near multi-month low of $29,360. All of Tesla's gains, both the $128 million profit on the 10% of its holdings sold in Q1, and the coins still on its books, totally vanished.
Then Bitcoin roared back. Musk changed personas as if he were back on Saturday Night Live, from riverboat gambler to an action hero rocketing into space. Just 10 days later, at the end of the quarter on June 30, Bitcoin's price had jumped to $35,041, lifting the value of Tesla's trove by 19% to $1.47 billion. By the market close on Aug. 6, Bitcoin leapt another 22% to $42,831.
From the trough on June 20, Tesla's portfolio jumped $1.233 billion to $1.8 billion. In just two weeks, Tesla's holdings swung from breakeven to a $570 million paper gain.
By Tesla's standards, that's big money. In Q2, the EV-maker posted its best quarterly results ever, earning $939 million before taxes and sales of regulatory credits, up from a loss in Q1. Hence, Tesla gained as much on Bitcoin from June 20 to Aug. 6 as it made selling EVs and batteries in its second quarter.
Elon doesn't seem the least stressed over parking corporate cash in an asset so volatile that by selling on one of its spikes, Tesla could reap as much as an extra quarter's earnings, and that if it collapses, could erase the quarter's profits. If Tesla can build on its big earnings increase in Q1, shareholders will be a lot more relaxed about the boss's Bitcoin lark. If Tesla fails to deliver big, they will quickly sour on Musk's gambit as an adventure too far.
