Tesla shares dropped nearly 5% in after-hours trading due to a decline in automotive revenue, despite Bitcoin holdings exceeding $1.2 billion. The company opened a retro-themed diner in West Hollywood. Tesla aims to lead in AI and robotics. The Tesla diner features robots serving customers and plans to introduce cute outfits next year.
Tesla’s Bitcoin holdings reached $1.23 billion at the end of the June quarter, leading to increased volatility. The company’s total other income grew to $284 million in Q2. Tesla holds 11,509 BTC, ranking 10th in companies with Bitcoin reserves. Other companies aggressively buying BTC have impacted Tesla’s position.
