The price immediately shot up $2,000. Elon Musk fired off another ambiguous tweet about Bitcoin today, sending the price up about $2,000.
"Spoke with North American Bitcoin miners," Musk wrote at 3:42 pm Eastern. "They committed to publish current & planned renewable usage & to ask miners WW to do so. Potentially promising."
As with all of Musk's tweets, it had an immediate and significant effect on the crypto markets—by 3:57pm, the price of Bitcoin had shot from around $38,000 to over $40,000.
