Tesla Now Deletes Bitcoin Source Code From Its Payment Page, Stop The Rumor

Key Points:

• Tesla’s source code hinted at Bitcoin and Dogecoin payment options, fueling excitement in the cryptocurrency community.
• The company deleted the Bitcoin code option but retained Dogecoin as a possible payment method on its platform.
• Despite the speculations, its cryptocurrency holdings remained stable at $184 million.

The cryptocurrency community was abuzz with excitement as rumors circulated that Tesla might integrate Bitcoin (BTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE) as payment options. But now, billionaire Elon Musk’s company has been discovered once again to have deleted Bitcoin in the source code of its payment page but still retains Dogecoin.

The excitement grew when it was discovered that Tesla had options for both Bitcoin and Dogecoin in its source code related to payments. However, upon further investigation, it was revealed that these options had been present in the source code since January 2023. Tesla had not removed them when they discontinued the option to pay with Bitcoin.

It is worth noting that in February 2021, Tesla purchased $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin and even announced plans to accept it as a payment option. However, concerns raised by Musk led to the reversal of this decision, resulting in Tesla selling about 75% of its Bitcoin holdings in the second quarter of 2022. Musk cited concerns about the company’s overall liquidity as the reason for the sell-off.

While Tesla’s Bitcoin and Dogecoin options in the source code caused a stir in the cryptocurrency world, it appears that the electric car manufacturer remains cautious about fully embracing cryptocurrencies as payment options. The crypto community continues to watch for further developments and announcements from Elon Musk and Tesla regarding their stance on digital assets.
