NYSE:SOS fell below $0.40 for the first time since becoming a publicly traded company, as the broader market sell off sent the stock to a new all-time low. On Tuesday, shares of SOS dropped by 5.80% and closed the trading session at $0.39. The nightmare year continued for US markets, as concerns over disappointing big tech earnings this week led to investors hitting the sell button early.

The Bitcoin Mining Council released a report on Tuesday that stated that Proof of Work mining is becoming more energy efficient. The report cited a 59% year over year rise in the use of sustainable energy sources for mining. Proof of Work energy usage has been a hot topic and is one of the driving factors of the State of New York currently seeking a bill that would ban Proof of Work mining. The price of Bitcoin plummeted alongside the equities market on Tuesday, and was down by more than 5.1% during afternoon trading.
SOS stock forecast
Last year when El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as a legal tender to help boost its struggling economy, many in the crypto and financial industries took notice. Now, a recent survey from the US Bureau of Economic Research shows that only 20% of companies accept Bitcoin, with only 5% of all sales being made in Bitcoin. It appears that citizens in El Salvador still prefer cash and that many do not understand or trust the Bitcoin system itself.
