On Tuesday, the number of unconfirmed Bitcoin transactions spiked to over 125K. Bitcoin mempool clearance is now happening per se on a rare occasion. Following Tesla's news of a $ 1.5 billion Bitcoin acquisition, the transaction count spiked. The amount of Bitcoin transactions confirmed has decreased to below 60,000 at the moment. The size of these transactions (a data value of around 149 megabytes) should be sufficient to make up no less than 107 new blocks of Bitcoin.
