 broke out to a new all-time high today, buoyed by the news that Tesla has purchased $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In addition to Tesla’s purchase, legendary investor Bill Miller also plans to increase his exposure to Bitcoin by investing over $300 million in Grayscale Bitcoin Trust. These purchases by large investors even after Bitcoin’s sharp rally show they expect the up-move to continue further.

Mexico’s third-richest person Ricardo Salinas Pliego has added the hashtag Bitcoin to his Twitter bio. This act by Salinas brings Bitcoin to the notice of his 840,000 followers, some of whom may want to emulate the billionaire by buying Bitcoin. Salinas had revealed back in November that 10% of his “liquid portfolio” was invested in Bitcoin.
