Tesla says it has invested more than $1 billion in Bitcoin and will accept the digital currency as payment for its electric vehicles.

may be able to cash in some of their investment in the digital currency for a brand new electric car.and it plans to begin accepting the digital currency as payment for its high-end vehicles soon. The price of Bitcoin soared 15.4% to around $44,500 Monday in reaction to Tesla's announcement, according to CoinBase.

Whether other major companies will follow Tesla's lead in investing in Bitcoin or accepting it for transactions is unclear. A vehicle is a large purchase, which could make Bitcoin a better fit to pay for it, but the wild price swings in Bitcoin could be a significant risk to any merchant who decided to accept it.

Tesla is in a unique position to accept digital currencies for payment, since the automaker does not rely on a network of independently owned dealerships to sell its vehicles unlike traditional car companies such as General Motors and Ford. Even with Tesla's support, it could take some time before those who've made money investing in Bitcoin to use it to buy a car.

“I think the trend is inexorable,” said Richard Lyons, a finance professor at the University of California at Berkeley, predicting Bitcoin and other digital currencies"will become transactional currencies increasingly over the next five years. It’s not going to happen overnight.”
