If You Invested $1,000 In Dogecoin When Elon Musk Revived His $44B Twitter Offer, You'd Have This Much Now

Cryptocurrency Dogecoin DOGE/USD saw several periods of sharp increases in its price related to the $44-billion acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk.

Considering Dogecoin's history with Musk, some investors expect the so-called "meme crypto" to become integrated into the social media platform.

“Dogecoin might be my fav cryptocurrency," Musk said back in April 2, 2019. " It’s pretty cool.” In 2020, he posted a meme of Dogecoin passing the global financial system, claiming, “It’s inevitable.”

In May 2021, Musk even referenced Dogecoin while hosting an episode of Saturday Night Live. That month, Dogecoin enjoyed record highs, hitting $0.7475.

The price of Dogecoin has since dropped, yet Musk continues to show support for the digital asset. Several of his companies now accept Dogecoin as a payment option.

“I’m mainly supporting Doge. Doge has the memes and dogs and has a sense of humor and doesn’t take itself too seriously,” Musk said in a 2022 interview.

On April 3, 2023, six months after Musk took over Twitter, the Twitter logo changed from the blue bird to Kabosu, the dog pictured in Dogecoin's logo. This spiked the price of the cryptocurrency:
