Earlier this year, Elon Musk made a statement, saying that Tesla would start accepting the world’s flagship cryptocurrency, BTC, as payment from customers and the received Bitcoin will not be converted into fiat.
Tesla also allocated $1.5 billion to buy Bitcoin. Later on, though, it was revealed that the company cashed out ten percent of its BTC holdings.
