Years Since Musk’s Bitcoin Tweet
Musk’s well-known tweet about Bitcoin occurred six years ago, long before he acquired the social media platform.
Given the world’s richest man’s reservations about cryptocurrency assets, it may sound like a joke, but doubts remain about whether he actually made this post. Since then, Bitcoin’s price has risen by about 1000%, providing impressive gains for those who paid attention to Musk’s tweet.
Musk’s Influence on Dogecoin
Elon Musk’s affection and indirect support for Dogecoin have positively impacted the price of this leading meme coin. During the surge in 2021, Musk’s references to the meme coin significantly contributed to its rise. During the SNL show,
DOGE
approached the $1 target like never before.
Additionally, Musk’s suggestion for a Government Efficiency Department (D.O.G.E) during the Trump administration also recently led to a spike in Dogecoin’s price.
Company Stance on Bitcoin
Despite Musk’s reservations regarding Bitcoin, it is known that his companies, Tesla and SpaceX, hold significant amounts of Bitcoin. Tesla reportedly has $760 million worth of BTC. SpaceX continues to hold 8,285 BTC.
Musk’s statements about cryptocurrencies continue to create ripples in the markets. His recent comments about XRP also affected its chart. Musk believes that cryptocurrencies support individual freedom, yet he has not expressed a clear stance for or against them.
Musk’s relationship with cryptocurrencies presents both opportunities and risks for market participants. This situation may lead to ongoing fluctuations in the markets.
