"You can buy Tesla with bitcoin now," Elon Musk, Tesla's chief executive, announced on his personal social media account on the same day, Forbes magazine reported on the 24th At present, Tesla only supports users in the United States to pay through bitcoin. Musk later tweeted that "later this year, Tesla outside the United States will also accept bitcoin.". At the same time, musk also guaranteed that the bitcoin paid to Tesla will be retained and will not be converted into legal tender.

The price of bitcoin has increased sevenfold in the past 12 months, and now it costs US $55000 each. This is also fueled by musk himself, who has announced that he is a supporter of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin. Simon Peters, an American financial expert, said, "Tesla's announcement of support for bitcoin payment and retention will promote more companies and individuals to hold bitcoin, resulting in a more tight supply of limited bitcoin in the market and further pushing up the price of bitcoin."
