Billionaire Fund Manager Sells 1.8M Tesla Shares for Clients"},"content":{"rendered":"
Less than a month after US carmaker Tesla revealed its $1.5bn Bitcoin holdings<\/a>, one of the company’s most vocal bullish investors announced that he had sold 1.8 million of its shares for clients.<\/p>\n Ron Baron, the founder of Baron Capital, an investment management firm in New York, said<\/a> his firm sold TSLA stocks for its clients, believing that they were taking too much percentage of some of their portfolios. Nevertheless, the billionaire investor clarified that he did not sell any of his 1.25 million Tesla shares, reiterating his long-term bullish outlook for the Fortune 500 company.<\/p>\n “It was painful selling every single share,” he added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The sell-off took place over the course of the previous six months. It reflected Baron Capital’s systematic plans to secure profits for their clients as the Tesla stock boomed<\/a> by 338 percent to $653.20 apiece. Nevertheless, the firm did not reveal the number of shares it sold after Tesla revealed that it had reallocated 8-10 percent of its cash reserves to bitcoin on February 8.<\/p>\n According to reports, Baron Capital was holding just over 6.1 million Tesla shares as of Feb. 28. The firm bought them at an average cost of $42.3 per share.<\/p>\nBitcoin The Main Culprit?<\/h2>\n
