Tesla should dump its Bitcoin to its regain positive momentum, according to former Goldman Sachs executive Gary Black.
Former Goldman Sachs executive Gary Black, who has served as the chief investment officer of the bank's asset management unit, says that Tesla could reignite its fading momentum by getting out of its Bitcoin position in a recent tweet.
He is certain that the e-car manufacturer should use the cash from this sale to authorize a stock buyback.
While claiming that such a decision would find overwhelming support among Teslas shareholders, Black concedes that the company is “highly unlikely” to do away with its cryptocurrency trove.

However, its sell-off obviously has nothing to do with the cryptocurrency that has already made it more profits than a whole year of car sales. In fact, all top electric vehicle stocks are under severe pressure as of now.
Stock market investors are currently concerned over rising bond yields that could threaten risk-on assets (particularly, such high-growth companies as Tesla).
Bitcoin and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite dived sharply after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell signaled that the central bank wouldnt hike interest rates earlier today.
