Bitcoin this Monday again broke the $40,000 level, to which it has not risen since May 27. At the time of publication, the first cryptocurrency is trading at a three-week high of around $40,600. The growth over the last day was 13%. Today's price jump occurred against the backdrop of several events. Bitcoin began to grow yesterday, fueled by expectations about the closing of the next round of the placement of MicroStrategy bonds. Today, MicroStrategy reported on the successful collection of $500 million in accordance with the previously announced plan. After deducting the associated costs, it will invest $488 million in bitcoin. The financing was attracted under secured bonds maturing in 2028 and with an interest rate of 6.125% per annum. At the current value of bitcoin, MicroStrategy will be able to add about 12,000 more coins to its position of 92,079 BTC. Also yesterday, the rise of bitcoin was promoted by Elon Musk with a comment that Tesla intends to start accepting the cryptocurrency again, after a significant part of its mining will switch to renewable energy. Today, he was joined by billionaire Paul Tudor Jones, who said that bitcoin attracts him as a tool for portfolio diversification. #CryptoTrading
