Bitcoin's value was still down 8.85% percent over the 24 hour period since Elon Musk's shock announcement that Tesla will no longer accept Bitcoin as a form of payment due to environmental factors.
Musk's announcement on Wednesday evening initially caused a huge 17 percent drop in the price of the world's largest cryptocurrency, but it recovered slightly during the day.
It comes after the billionaire Tesla CEO made an abrupt turn-about when he revealed his electric vehicle company will no longer accept the cryptocurrency as payment for his cars.
His revelation, which followed months of him boasting of his and Tesla's investment in Bitcoin, initially saw the coin's price plunge wipe off an estimated $365 billion from the entire cryptocurrency market.
Tesla had bought about $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin back in February around the time it announced it would accept the coin as payment, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
It means the latest drop wipes $150 million off Tesla's Bitcoin investment.
