Tesla has acquired approximately $ 1.5 billion in Bitcoin. This has been done under an investment policy of the company producing electric cars led by Elon Musk.

There are no set guidelines regarding cryptocurrency in India yet. Three years ago, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) issued a circular regarding cryptocurrency in 2018. According to this circular, the central bank was banned from providing any services related to cryptocurrencies to regulated entities. After this, the case went to the country’s largest court, the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court rejected a ban imposed by the RBI on cryptocurrencies in March 2020 last year. Since then, investment in Bitcoin in India is entirely at the risk of investors because there is no regulation related to it here.
