Bitcoin continues to gain support from major institutions. 

Some of the crypto industry players have welcomed the Facebook founder’s latest post. Skybridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci tweeted, “I knew Mark Zuckerberg would become a #Bitcoin-er when he hired David Marcus from PayPal to run Facebook’s crypto business. It’s been a long and winding road, but welcome to #Bitcoin. Great job, Zuck and David. Excited for what comes next.” Zuckerberg is not the first to extend support for Bitcoin. Earlier, tech giants like Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey have openly endorsed Bitcoin (BTC) even with their companies investing huge sums in the cryptocurrency. As reported earlier, Tesla announced its $1.5 billion investment in Bitcoin from its reserve cash.
