FIxed. It was tlp all along.

First run this command:

[nikola@leviathan ~]$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:b721 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04f2:b483 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd 
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Get the ID of the bluetooth device (in my case it is Realtek, so the ID is 0bda:b721).

Now, change the line #USB_BLACKLIST="1111:2222 3333:4444" to USB_BLACKLIST="<ID>" (in my case to USB_BLACKLIST="0bda:b721") in /etc/default/tlp.

Reboot and everything should work.

Credits go to Aditya.
