What Tesla did with bitcoin could be considered market manipulation, and that's a serious crime considered by the US government. The fact that the company invested $1.5B and make it public that bring a lot of investors to bitcoin, and after that, we see how bitcoin has a crazy jump in the prize, and now they sold the 10% when bitcoin was on its ATH.
As a reference, I will leave this link:

I think making it public is something that they are supposed to do, they shouldn’t keep their investment in Bitcoin a private. And there are other big institutions toothat have been making investments before Tesla, and we don’t know how far with them. We are all keeping an eye on Tesla because it’s a very popular company with the influence of Elon Musk.
When they first made this their investment I was telling my friends that it’s not going to be something they will hold forever, there will still come a time that they will decide to sell it. They have sold 10% and now 90% left, we don’t know what’s next.
