Bitcoin jumped more than 12% to reach a 24-hour high of $39,983 while slipping back to $38,400 on Tuesday morning. Bitcoin was still up by 8% on Tuesday morning while being 40% down compared to the all time high recorded in early April.
Bitcoin started losing its value by a huge margin after Elon Musk announced two weeks back that Tesla would no longer accept Bitcoin as payment due to its consumption of fossil fuels during the mining process.
