ELON MUSK STILL HOLDING ON TO BITCOIN DESPITE CONTINUAL DIP
The billionaire isn’t giving up on to its company crypto allegiance despite continual dip
Tesla CEO Elon Musk doesn't appear to be shying away from bitcoin, despite the crypto-wide sell-off, which cut the value of bitcoin in half at one point over the last 24 hours.
In a tweet Wednesday morning, through a combination of text and emojis, Musk said that Tesla had diamond hands, implying that the electric vehicle maker would not be shedding its $1.5 billion stake in bitcoin.
The world's most popular cryptocurrency plunged as much as 30% on Wednesday to just above $30,000, its lowest level since late January, according to Coin Metrics. That means bitcoin has now erased all its gains following Tesla's announcement that it would purchase $1.5 billion worth of the cryptocurrency.
Musk's messaging on Tesla's bitcoin position has been mixed. Musk also suggested on Twitter over the weekend that Tesla might sell its bitcoin holdings, but later clarified that the company would not sell.
