Bitcoin rate officially exceeded the value of $ 42 thousand. This happened on February 8 and became another historical record. Recall that in January, the record was also broken. The cost of bitcoin exceeded then $ 41 thousand.
According to the cryptocurrency exchange CoinDesk, the bitcoin rate rose as high as $ 43,710.23. The rapid rise in price arose due to the fact that the company Tesla reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission on its investments in crypto-assets $ 1.5 billion. On the wave of this news, exchanges reacted to the growth of the currency.
Recall that Ilon Musk believes that bitcoin will soon become one with traditional currencies and will be recognized around the world. In a candid statement, the head of Tesla regretted that he had not purchased this cryptocurrency earlier at a more favorable rate.
In the description of his Twitter account, the entrepreneur added the hashtag bitcoin. This event caused the asset to jump by 15% on the same day.
