Why It Matters: According to official information from Tesla, Dogecoin is currently the only cryptocurrency accepted for certain product purchases. The company emphasizes that any incorrect payment amounts or asset types sent to its designated address will not be reversed or refunded. Buyers interested in using Dogecoin for Tesla goods must possess a Dogecoin wallet.
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has been vocal about his affinity for Dogecoin in the past. His tweets have consistently expressed support and admiration for the popular meme-based cryptocurrency.
It is important to note that the mention of Dogecoin payment integration in the source code does not guarantee or imply that DOGE will be integrated into Cybertruck.
Price Action: At the time of writing, DOGE was trading at $0.059, down 1.78% in the last 24 hours, according to Benzinga Pro.
