NEW YORK, May 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Earlier this year, Tesla was one of the first major corporations to start accepting bitcoin as payment. Yet, after only a few months, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on Twitter that the Company has suspended vehicle purchases using the cryptocurrency due to concerns over "rapidly increasing use of fossil fuels for bitcoin mining." This has caused the price of bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies as well, to plummet. The saga continued this week, as Musk revealed that he has talked to North American Bitcoin miners, discussing their commitment to publish current and planned renewable usage. As a result, the price of bitcoin jumped about 4% Monday afternoon. ISW Holdings Inc. (OTC: ISWH), Bitfarms Ltd. (OTC: BFARF), Ault Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DPW), Ozop Energy Solutions, Inc.
