Secondary stock offerings were probably the source of the $1.5 billion used to purchase bitcoin. Those funds were supposed to be used for building factories, paying liabilities, etc. and other prudent business operations.
Why the speculative move to buy bitcoin? This seems to say that Elon's business plan is not worthy of the risk.
(Allowing buyers to purchase its product with bitcoin - not a big deal as they can sell right away.)
What could possibly go wrong - for TSLA?

Well, it's good news and bad news at the same time. Obviously, it is a piece of good news to every crypto lover as he/she can buy a brand new Tesla with their holding in the future.. And bad news because the alts are bleeding red again, though people may think that alt prices are increasing in $$ values but we bought it through BTC. so unless they reach back to the same price or higher in BTC pair, we are at loss.

It seems Elon Musk knows how to play with people's emotions, and he can attract them to join with him. He already invests in bitcoin before the price is jump, but he announces it now to lift the price, and maybe that is the reason for the bitcoin price to jump higher and break $44,900. The trend still at the uptrend. But we do not know if the price can break $45k or not since that is close to that price.
Elon musk is really taking advantage of his influence, It is given that Elon bought a bag of bitcoin on the accumulation phase and I think this is his plan, He will not shill or do something that he won't gain something. We small-time trader/hodler/believer has a chance to ride his plans to make some profit. I hope that next time he will shill a useful coin not a useless coin like doge For the mean time, The tesla investment is I think good for bitcoin itself breaking the recent ATH and making a new ATH. I'm hoping that big names will start showing their motives to bitcoin.

so this Blockfolio app notification popped up during my Mobile Legends time a few hours ago. I was screamed out, it feels like a birthday surprise. The game feels so slow since I want to check my portfolio immediately, open my Twitter to make a celebration tweet, checking my alts order, etc. A great day for Bitcoin and Crypto Supporters. Now "stocks" people can't say Bitcoin is monkey business. Because the king is with us now

This is an insane power move.
I wonder if he had to get approval from a board of directors?
Elon Musk is a charlatan. That being said. This is good for bitcoin. If other big companies follow suit we could easily see the price go to 6 digits and never come back down from there.
The risk involved can't be understated though. Bitcoin could go down 90% and turn that 1.5 Billion into 150 Million if the wind starts blowing in the other direction.
This is absolutely fucking crazy.

Syscoin has the best of Bitcoin and Ethereum in one place, it's merge mined with Bitcoin so it is plugged into Bitcoin's ecosystem and takes full advantage of it's POW while rewarding Bitcoin miners with Syscoin

Well, Elon is the largest stock holder in Tesla so I'm sure the board had to approve it. But his votes probably carry the direction most of the time. This is an insane power move.

So maybe Elon was already buying btc and doge even before the time that he was tweeting about crypto. And now, we are hearing that they just invested in bitcoin. I believe he also has a bunch of doge in his crypto portfolio and other important alts. Really great news to the crypto community, big boost in bitcoin price, finally surpassing the 41k mark.
I also have same thoughts; it is impossible for Musk to just buy bitcoin today and also announce today; he definitely must have beenn packing enough of the dips during the bears; and use his massive influence to force fomo and enough demand to cause a demand pull. An excellent movement irregardless. Bitcoin to the world

I was very surprised that it goes so quickly. I had a premonition because why else would you have such a great interest in crypto currencies? Remember his twitter bio recently with BTC. there it was already clear that he owns btc. the distraction with doge was good and he had a lot of fun. and snoop dogg surely bought some btc too.
Now we're a little smarter. Tesla is innovating and making a strong statement in the auto industry.

Elon Musks have already been so popular in crypto universe and we are getting his predictions about Doge and bitcoin for last few weeks. Although Elon Musk was so positive about bitcoin from the beginning and still he is spreading the potentiality of bitcoin and other crypto currencies. I am not a big fan of him but after seeing the news of Tesla's recent investment on bitcoin i can easily say that many more companies will follow the same way in upcoming days. Yeah its true that still many people have negative thinking about bitcoin and love to go for bank wire transaction rather then using bitcoin as a payment method.
We can't reduce this number just in few month or year but whenever worlds richest man make clear announcement about his investment on bitcoin (1.5$ Billion) then definitely haters will rethink about bitcoin and its use.

Tesla upped btc price by 10% so we need to wait for Amazon, I guess another 10-30% up.

I wonder if SpaceX or Starlink will get into Bitcoin. We got a lot of time before we need payments sent back and forth between Mars, but it seems that SpaceX at least would want to be able to transact using crypto between settlements.

It is truly remarkable that TESLA has announced that they are going to use Bitcoin as their payment method. If such an adoption is made at the corporation level, we will soon see that the price of Bitcoin has exceeded 100k. That's why I applaud Elon Musk and his organization, Although late but they realized that Bitcoin is the real future.

I wonder why Tesla didn't invest their 1.5Billion in Doge. Unless Elon Musk was trolling with us the hole time and he has a sense of humor. But he found out that his tweets affects the crypto world so after he invested some money in Bitcoin why not brag about it to drive the prices up.

It was always going to happen sooner or later, we can see how bitcoin has captured the financial world by surprise now every financial institution are trying to lay hands on as much bitcoin as they can buy, with this news we might even see Bitcoin at $50k before the end p this week, Elon Musk is really a destroyer of short positions , cause I heard over $500m was liquidated in all futures crypto exchanges after tesla released the news, looks like we are already on the moon now heading to MARS.

Tesla now is absolutely making a huge effect on the market, the spike that we saw is the cause of this buying amount. I was truly amazed by the support that Elon did, that kinda be he is really serious about what he doing right now. From Twitter, Doge pump, Bitcoin doing the same, and have this Tesla. Everyone now is on the look to Elon. They are obviously watching him what he does next. I wonder if SpaceX or Starlink will get into Bitcoin. We got a lot of time before we need payments sent back and forth between Mars, but it seems that SpaceX at least would want to be able to transact using crypto between settlements.
You can't simply ignore that because I now seeing that Elon is adopting crypto, he's not joking now, I think.

This is really a big news not just for the crypto community but as well as for the world because knowing Tesla's big influence and popularity as a big company now investing with Bitcoin with a massive amount of $1.5B will give more credibility to Bitcoin for people will now find reason on why they must get into Bitcoin. This thing done by the Tesla will surely have a big impact not just on Bitcoin but as well as into the minds of people for they would be convince to get into Bitcoin now that another big and influential company have given a hand on investing into it.

I think it is not really surprising if Tesla buys a big amount of Bitcoin, we already saw what Elon Musk did on his tweets lately. They start to speak much on crypto, even his tweets lead to the soar in Dogecoin price. This man knows well how to take advantage of crypto investment. He is aware of the impacts of news or issues on the crypto market. So, he finally decides to take a part in this industry more by buying a big number of Bitcoin through the Tesla company.

I knew that Elon wasn't really shilling crypto for nothing, especially bitcoin and doge as of late. His twitter platform is so powerful that bitcoin soared from $33k to $37k just a week ago and now here we are, with the announcement of Tesla officially invested in bitcoin: $46k. It will surely boost Tesla's valuation even further in the coming years, and I do hope that with valuation comes greater and even better products for their electric cars. I mean, valuation is nothing if you can't deliver anything to the masses, and soon your company will just fall like dominoes.
A lot of people already predicted that Elon is already 'in the game' right even before the official SEC filing, but it's still crazy to know that the man with about $250 or something worth in bitcoin lets its multi-billion company buy $1.5 billion in bitcoin alone in a single move. Possibly one of the highest institutional purchase ever.

It's now confirmed that Elon Mush is up to in the last couple of days, he maybe testing the waters already with #Bitcoin and then experiment on DOGE on how people are going to react on him.
And now that the jury is out and there are public documents of his company investing a good sum of their assets to BTC, then everything break loose. Now it's just a matter of time when this run will end short term. I'm thinking $56k will be a good stop.

Apparently Elon Musk has been the reason why bitcoin is soaring high and has reached a new ATH again today. Maybe he is really interested in cryptocurrencies and may see it in the future that it could be of use to everyone. I mean it’s not a joke to buy bitcoin worth $1.5Billion you know.
For him, that amount is nothing. He can play around and create momentum that can bring the price up and for sure he can bring things down when he's done playing. It's another venue to gather more money, he understand how to work with people emotions. He see the potential of this market that's why he's bringing his investment. True, that amount is nothing for him but maybe he is also testing on how the market goes up and down whenever he tweets or say something about a certain coin. He’s smart on putting that amount of money to bitcoin, I mean he tweeted dogecoin, or maybe he is inviting other investors and convincing them this is for real. There are still a lot of people who still does not believe in cryptocurrencies and he’s proving to them that there is potential in cryptocurrencies.
