REPORTAGEM DO JORNAL NACIONAL, SOBRE A VALORIZAÇAO DO BITICOIN EM 2018.

Tesla has revealed that it has bought $1.5 billion in Bitcoin in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The announcement is an extremely bullish development to say the least. Bitcoin broke record highs as investors digested the news, hitting $42,541.78 at the time of writing. In the filing, Tesla explained that it has updated its investment policy “to provide us with more flexibility to further diversify and maximize returns on our cash.” This means that the electric vehicle manufacturer is reserving the right to invest in “certain alternative reserve assets including digital assets, gold bullion, gold exchange-traded funds and other assets as specified in the future.” Confirming that Tesla now owns $1.5 billion in Bitcoin, the filing added: “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.”
