According an SEC filing this morning, Tesla has invested $1.5 BILLION into bitcoin. And crypto investors are all like "please and thank you, sir!"
Oh, and to even further signal their commitment to the cryptocurrency, Tesla also mentioned plans to accept bitcoin as a form of payment in the near future.

Thereafter, we invested an aggregate $1.50 billion in bitcoin under this policy and may acquire and hold digital assets from time to time or long-term. Moreover, we expect to begin accepting bitcoin as a form of payment for our products in the near future
Yeah, so sounds like you're going to be able to buy a Tesla with bitcoin soon.
Which is pretty stinking cool! And at its current price, that would run you around 2 bitcoin or so.
This news, of course, strapped the price of bitcoin to a rocket and sent it soaring out of orbit. It has already hit a new all time high of $44,000 USD per coin this morning. And there's no telling where it will settle.
Papa Elon has been bestowing bitcoin blessings for the past couple weeks, actually. He recently added #bitcoin to his Twitter profile which dumped a tanker full of fuel into the rocket, and this move has just cranked on all the boosters.
