Tesla CEO,Elon Musk made this announcement on Twitter on Wednesday, March 24.
In addition,he went on to clarify in another tweet that Tesla will be keeping #bitcoin received from customers, rather than coverting it to traditional currency like dollars.
“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.”
Musk also said that the option to pay with bitcoin will be available to other countries “later this year.”
This comes a month after the automaker revealed that it had bought $1.5 billion worth of bitcoin and would soon start accepting the world’s most popular cryptocurrency as a form of payment.
