Service outages have been reported at major cryptocurrency exchanges on Feb. 8, following the news that Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) invested $1.5 billion in Bitcoin (BTC).
As Cointelegraph reported earlier, news of Tesla's sizeable investment broke after the discovery of a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. This caused Bitcoin price to jump $3,000 in a matter of minutes, eventually claiming a newall-time high of $44,850.
