Bitcoin gave up some of its gains fueled by Tesla Inc.’s $1.5 billion investment into the token that drove prices to record highs.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency fell as much as 7.5% Wednesday to $43,764 after surging past $48,000 earlier this week. Alt coins including Ether and Litecoin also declined.
