Tesla starts accepting Bitcoin for its cars: Elon Musk

Bitcoin's adoption continues to spread as more companies are accepting it as payment for goods and services. There have been arguments regarding why Bitcoin is not a good medium of exchange but rather a store of value. However, several companies continue to accept it as payment, and Tesla now joins the ranks.

You can now buy Tesla with Bitcoin, says Musk

Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk revealed earlier today that people can now buy their electric cars using Bitcoin. He revealed this in a tweet earlier today, stating that "You can now buy a Tesla with Bitcoin."

This information was first released earlier this year when Tesla announced that it purchased $1.5 billion worth of bitcoins. The company revealed that it would start accepting the leading cryptocurrency as payment for its cars, but it didn't disclose when it would start doing so.

Musk has now revealed that his company would start accepting BTC payment. He revealed that the company doesn't have any intentions of converting the bitcoins to cash. He stated that "Tesla is using only internal & open source software & operates Bitcoin nodes directly. Bitcoin paid to Tesla will be retained as Bitcoin, not converted to fiat currency."

Tesla adds BTC options to its store

The announcement came after Twitter users began noticing the support for bitcoin as a payment option in Tesla's United States stores. The Bitcoin payment option is available for all models of Tesla's electronic cars.

The CEO stated that the Bitcoin payment option is available to people in the United States and will soon be made available to customers in other regions. Tesla told users that the company is supporting Bitcoin at the moment and no other cryptocurrency. Potential buyers are required to send the exact amount of bitcoins for their orders in a single transaction.

Bitcoin's price is currently trading above the $56k mark, but this news is a welcomed development to the cryptocurrency space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
