Bitcoin breaks the $ 50,000 mark for the first time, at its highest price ever

Reuters reported today, Tuesday, that the digital currency, Bitcoin, has breached the $ 50,000 barrier for the first time, at its highest price ever.

This comes after Bitcoin recorded, this morning, a historical level, as it rose above the level of 49.4 thousand dollars.

By 07:44 Moscow time, CoinMarketCap’s digital currency recorded a reading at $ 49,482, but then fell to $ 49079.

The rise comes after Tesla announced in early February that it had invested about $ 1.5 billion in Bitcoin as part of its updated investment policy.

In addition, the company intends to start using digital currency to pay for its products in the near future.

The cryptocurrency has risen 72% since the beginning of this year.
