That's the data in the company's quarterly report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, released today.

On July 20, Tesla converted about 75% of its Bitcoin into U.S. currency, generating $936 million, though the equivalent of about $1.2 billion in previous quarters.

The firm's remaining digital assets are worth $218 million. As a reminder, Tesla bought $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin back in early 2021.
