Tesla will no longer accept Bitcoin to pay for its car – just months after the company began allowing customers to use the cryptocurrency.

Following CEO Elon Musk's decision, Bitcoin fell more than 10%.

Musk said it was because of environmental concerns.

Some Tesla investors and environmentalists have criticized the way Bitcoin is mined, which requires a large amount of electricity.
