Bitcoin rose 5% after Elon Musk said a Tesla car can now be purchased using the world's most popular cryptocurrency.
The "Technoking" said in a tweet early Wednesday the EV-maker has added bitcoin as a payment option. The choice is currently available to customers in the US, but will be made available elsewhere later this year, Musk said.
"Tesla is using only internal & open source software & operates Bitcoin nodes directly," he said. "Bitcoin paid to Tesla will be retained as Bitcoin, not converted to fiat currency."
