Faraday Future, a company once touted as a significant rival to Tesla in the electric vehicle (EV) market, has made a surprising and bold move by launching its own cryptocurrency strategy. This decision makes it the first publicly traded EV manufacturer besides Tesla to directly invest in and integrate digital assets into its corporate treasury. The company has already allocated $30 million to this new initiative and has ambitious plans to increase its crypto holdings to as much as $1 billion, signaling a major strategic shift.
Introducing the C10 Index and Investment Details

The index is heavily concentrated, with Bitcoin (BTC) making up nearly 50% of the basket and Ethereum (ETH) holding a 24% share. This approach mirrors a growing trend among corporations to diversify their assets with digital currencies. The company's foray into crypto comes at a critical time, as it navigates past production delays and financial hurdles. The move is a stark contrast to its previous struggles, which saw its stock plunge following a SPAC merger and an investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This high-risk, high-reward strategy will be closely watched by both the automotive and crypto industries.
