“Energy is the real currency… and Bitcoin is the first financial system based on physics.”
(Statements December 2025)
In a new statement that sparked a huge uproar this month, Elon Musk said:
“Energy is the real currency of any economy…
And Bitcoin is the first financial network based on the consumption of real energy that cannot be faked.”
This statement is considered one of his strongest messages about digital currencies in years,
Because it ties the future of Bitcoin to a physical and economic foundation that cannot be tampered with.

🔥 Why did the statement cause such a stir?
Because Musk confirmed that:
🔸 Paper currencies can be printed without limits
🔸 Financial systems can be manipulated
🔸 But energy cannot be forged
🔸 Bitcoin relies on real energy that gives it stable value over time
In this sense…
Musk brings Bitcoin back to its essence:
The first currency to rely on the laws of physics rather than on banks' decisions.

📈 How has this reflected on the market?
Immediately after the statement spread:
✔️ Global search for 'Bitcoin Energy Model' has increased
✔️ Institutional interest in Bitcoin as a long-term asset has grown
✔️ The general sentiment towards BTC on Twitter and trading platforms has improved
✔️ The volume increased in the following hours after the statement
Musk did not mention any other currency by name…
But the focus was very clear:
Bitcoin is the financial system closest to physical reality.

🎯 In summary:
When Elon Musk talks about 'energy ← value',
It does not speak of an opinion… but of a new economic theory.
And every statement from him reshapes part of Bitcoin's future.
The market may not move due to price… but it moves instantly when Musk speaks.
