The price of Bitcoin (BTC) rose over 14% on Monday, easily crossing the magic $40,000 mark, after almost three weeks of languishing in the mid-to-high $30,000’s.
Bitcoin's price peaked at $41,117, setting a new monthly high for June, and coming on the heels of a weekend of wild price swings.
The wave of positive sentiment came on the back of a number of tweets from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and an announcement that the Republic of Tanzania was making plans to legitimize Bitcoin.
Musk has been something of a Pied Piper to Bitcoin since the electric car maker announced a $1.5 billion BTC buy in February and said that it would allow cars to be paid for in the cryptocurrency. The move helped to push the cryptocurrency's price to over $60,000 during the following weeks.
Soon afterward, however, Musk changed his tune and said that Tesla would no longer accept Bitcoin, citing concerns about the cryptocurrency's energy use. A regulatory crackdown in China added to Bitcoin’s woes.
Now, in another apparent volte face, the Tesla boss has indicated that the Bitcoin ban was not permanent while responding to criticism about his influence on the price of the cryptocurrency.
"When there's confirmation of reasonable (~50%) clean energy usage by miners with a positive future trend, Tesla will resume allowing Bitcoin transactions," Musk tweeted on Sunday. He did not state how this confirmation would happen.
This is inaccurate. Tesla only sold ~10% of holdings to confirm BTC could be liquidated easily without moving market.
When there’s confirmation of reasonable (~50%) clean energy usage by miners with positive future trend, Tesla will resume allowing Bitcoin transactions.

Last week's announcement that El Salvador planned to make Bitcoin legal tender in the country failed to significantly affect the price, but the move may have started a larger trend.
Yesterday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that Tesla would “resume allowing Bitcoin transactions” if and when there’s “confirmation of reasonable clean energy usage by miners,” following the EV company’s decision to stop taking payments in Bitcoin last month over concerns about its environmental impact. Musk suggested that the threshold for “reasonable clean energy usage” should be as high as 50%. Bitcoin advocates argue that a majority of Bitcoin is already produced using renewables. The discr...
Several south and central American nations have signalling their intent to follow El Salvador’s lead, and on Sunday, Tanzania’s President, Samia Suluhu Hassan, told financial chiefs of the East African nation that they should prepare plans to introduce cryptocurrency, or risk being caught out.
Terraform Labs has opened an online portal for investors to submit compensation claims for financial losses stemming from the May 2022 de-pegging of TerraUSD. Managed by administrators at New York-based Kroll, the portal will open on Monday, March 31 and close on April 30, giving loss-making investors a month to file claims. Applicants will have to submit evidence supporting their filings, including wallet addresses in which Terra-based cryptocurrencies were held, as well as transaction logs for...
Why did Joseph Maldonado-Passage, better known as Joe Exotic from the viral Netflix docuseries “Tiger King,” debut a meme coin on Solana from prison earlier this week? “I’m knee-deep in lawyer bills,” he told Decrypt in an interview, claiming the endeavor will also benefit children through donations to a nonprofit called Operation Smile. The 62-year-old, who has lived behind bars for seven years, didn’t launch the meme coin himself. Instead, he said his lawyers helped him get “Official Tiger Kin...
Bitcoin swung up and down—as usual—over the last week, and while things were looking up midweek, familiar inflation fears helped sink the price by the time Friday rolled around. The coin's price was recently at $82,480 per coin, according to CoinGecko, after hitting a nearly three-week high of $88,474 on Monday. As of this writing, Bitcoin is now down by almost 2% on the week. Bitcoin's dip came after the U.S. Commerce Department reported Friday that the core Personal Consumption Expenditures Pr...
