Bitcoin Jumps After Elon Musk Says Tesla Will Accept Bitcoin Again Once Miners Use More Clean Energy
Tesla Chief, Elon Musk tweet about Tesla and #Bitcoin.
Bitcoin popped nearly 1% after the tweet to $37,650.
The Tesla CEO and Dogecoin lover said in a tweet on Sunday that Tesla “will resume allowing Bitcoin transactions” if and when there’s “confirmation of reasonable (~50%) clean energy usage by miners with positive future trend.”
Elon Musk’s tweet was a response to a report in Cointelegraph story about Magda Wierzycka, CEO of fintech company Sygnia, accusing Musk of a Bitcoin pump and dump scheme after Tesla bought $1.5 billion in BTC and then, in Wierzycka’s summation, “sold a big part of his exposure at the peak.”
