2 月 8 日訊息 據外媒報道，特斯拉購買了價值 15 億美元的比特幣，受此訊息影響，比特幣短線拉昇至 43000 美元以上創歷史新高，,後續漲至 44849 美元，日漲幅最高接近 15%。

因此，比特幣市值已升至全球市值資產第 7 位（8107 億美元，AssetDash 資料），超越 Facebook 和特斯拉，僅次於蘋果、微軟、沙特阿美、亞馬遜、谷歌和騰訊。

瞭解到，特斯拉此前發表公告稱：預計在不久的將來開始接受比特幣作為支付產品的一種形式，將受適用法律的約束，並且最初將基於有限基礎。

In January 2021, we updated our investment policy to provide us with more flexibility to further diversify and maximize returns on our cash that is not required to maintain adequate operating liquidity. As part of the policy, which was duly approved by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, we may invest a portion of such cash in certain alternative reserve assets including digital assets, gold bullion, gold exchange-traded funds and other assets as specified in the 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, subject to applicable laws and initially on a limited basis, which we may or may not liquidate upon receipt.

此前受五部門聯合約談特斯拉影響盤前股價有所下跌，但經過該訊息轟炸之後有所回升。截至發稿，特斯拉盤前漲 2.19%。
