E-car maker Tesla is likely to report an impairment loss of roughly $440 million in its upcoming quarterly report, according to a Sunday report published by The Telegraph.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency is trading slightly above the $19,000 level at the time of writing this article.

Tesla caused a huge stir in the investment community by buying $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin last February, pushing the price of the world’s largest cryptocurrency to record highs.

In February, Tesla reported that its Bitcoin stash was worth $2 billion

The Elon Musk-helmed company reported a Bitcoin-related impairment of $51 million.
