After Tesla’s SEC documents were reported on that day, the price of Bitcoin has been on the rise. On this day, the bitcoin price was traded at $42,644, an increase of about 13% compared to 24 hours ago. At the beginning of last month, it exceeded the high of $42,000 and hit an all-time high.
Tesla said in a SEC filing on the day that “in the future, additional assets can be invested in digital assets.”
Some pointed out that recently, Elon Musk, Tesla’s chief executive officer (CEO), launched a “virtual currency launch” on Twitter before this.
CNBC reported, “In recent weeks, CEO Musk has posted an article on cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Dogecoin through Twitter,” said CNBC.
“Bitcoin is a good thing,” Musk’s CEO appeared at the social media clubhouse earlier this year. At the end of last year, he posted the hashtag’bitcoin’ on his Twitter.
