MOSCOW (Sputnik) – SpaceX/Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk says Tesla Inc. will resume bitcoin cryptocurrency transactions when mining is done with more clean energy.
According to Coindesk data, Bitcoin surged more than 11 percent after the Twitter post, up to over $39,000 on Sunday night.
This is not the first time the billionaire has made a statement causing turmoil on the cryptocurrency market.

In January, Tesla announced that it had invested $1.5 billion in Bitcoin, which resulted in a major spike of its price.
However, in May, Musk announced that he had suspended selling his Tesla electric vehicles for Bitcoins over concerns about the adverse environmental impact of mining the cryptocurrency. As a result, Bitcoin dropped at least 15 percent, plummeting even more after rumours emerged that the electric car company had sold its Bitcoin stock.
