Tesla Inc. (TSLA) - Get Report shares traded lower again Friday, potentially extending a move that has loped nearly $250 billion in value from the clean energy carmaker triggered by rising interest rates and the ongoing correction in bitcoin.

Tesla shares have fallen nearly 30% since the stock closed at a record high of $883.09 on January 26, just one day before benchmark 10-year Treasury note yields began their 55 basis point surge amid accelerating inflation forecasts and improving economic growth prospects.

Tech stocks, particularly those with earnings that are predicted to come further down the line, are notably sensitive to interest rate increases, as investor arithmetic assigns a lower ‘today’ value for dollars earned in the future.

Tesla, which has only recorded one profitable year since its inception in 2011, is expected to grow its earnings consistently over the next few years as deliveries accelerate and production ramps up in new facilities in Texas and Germany, making its ‘today’ value more dependent on interest rate moves than companies which are currently in the black.

Tesla shares were marked 2% lower in pre-market trading Friday to indicate an opening bell price of $609.00 each, a move that would peg its market value at just over $585 billion. At its peak in early January, Tesla was trading with a market cap of around $834 billion.

ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) - Get Report shares, meanwhile, have gone negative for the year partly as a result of Tesla’s weakness. Cathie Wood, one of last year’s standout fund managers and the head of the $60 billion stable of funds, has been a long-time proponent of both Tesla and Bitcoin, two of her fund’s key assets.

Which linked to a second vulnerability in Tesla shares that could be linked to its recent purchase of $1.5 billion worth of bitcoin, must be held as a so-called ‘intangible’ asset on its corporate balance sheet.

That means that, like the value of “goodwill”, it can’t be increased, but it can be marked down when bitcoin prices decline, leaving Tesla’s stock price at least partly-linked to bitcoin fluctuations.

Bitcoin prices have fallen nearly 20% since reaching an all-time high of $58,000 on February 21, partly as a result of rising bond yields that make U.S. dollar holdings more attractive

Short-selling interest in Tesla remains robust, as well, at $32.16 billion — or 6.4% of the outstanding float in play. Tesla shorts are up $1.18 billion since last week, according to data from S3 Partners.
