Bitcoin News: Elon Musk Says Tesla Will Accept Crypto's Payments When Mining Is Cleaner 06/13/21 AT 5:50 PM The price of bitcoin fell to a near three-month low after Tesla boss Elon Musk appeared to suggest his car firm had or was planning to offload its holding of the digital unit Photo: POOL / Britta Pedersen Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted Sunday on Twitter that Tesla will resume bitcoin transactions but only "when there's confirmation of ... 50% clean energy usage by miners." The comments helped lift the price of bitcoin, which has seen an overall decline since May. This is inaccurate. Tesla only sold ~10% of holdings to confirm BTC could be liquidated easily without moving market.
