Bitcoin hovers around $23,000.
Bitcoin’s price is currently hovering around $23,000 as the world’s largest cryptocurrency jumped above $20,000 last week. The recent institutional adoption by leading Wall Street firms helped the BTC rally. Saylor asked Musk if he wants to convert his Tesla balance sheet from USD to Bitcoin. “If you want to do your shareholders a $100 billion favor, convert the Tesla balance sheet from USD to BTC. Other firms on the S&P 500 would follow your lead & in time, it would grow to become a $1 trillion favor,” Saylor tweeted on Sunday. Earlier, Elon Musk faced some heat on Twitter for calling Trans pronouns “esthetically unpleasing.”
