🟠 Bitcoin Reclaims $78K as Iran Ceasefire Hits - Are We BACK?!

Bitcoin was sitting in the low $70,000s when Trump announced a resolution to the Iran standoff at the Strait of Hormuz. Within hours, it had cleared $78,000, a three-week high, up 6.88% on the week.
This is not correlation. The Strait of Hormuz controls roughly 20% of the world's oil supply. When that risk cleared, capital moved. Bitcoin moved first and moved fastest among risk assets. Hard money prices geopolitical events in real time, before traditional markets can catch up.
The asset class that was supposed to be "too risky" just acted like the cleanest geopolitical barometer on the planet.
⛏ Trump's Iran Pressure Took 77% of Their Bitcoin Hashrate Offline

Iran ran one of the world's largest state-sponsored Bitcoin mining operations, using it to generate dollar-equivalent revenue and sidestep sanctions. Over the past quarter, amid the US-Iran conflict, that hashrate collapsed by 77%.
Bitcoin's network absorbed it without flinching. Difficulty adjusted. Blocks kept coming. The lesson that gets ignored every time a major mining region goes offline is the same: no single government, military, or geopolitical event can stop the network. The miners left. Bitcoin did not.
One country lost three-quarters of its mining capacity. The protocol noticed for about ten minutes.
📈 STRC Raised $2.2 Billion in Two Days

Strategy's STRC vehicle raised ~$4 billion in total volume this week, with $2.2 billion in estimated ATM proceeds concentrated entirely in the first two days. Monday and Tuesday alone saw STRC absorb the equivalent of 28,226 BTC, at an average price of $77,500.
To put that in context: miners produce roughly 450 BTC per day. STRC's two-day haul represented 1,254% of the total weekly mined supply. After Tuesday, the raises stopped. The week's work was already done.
One vehicle. Two days. More Bitcoin than miners will produce in a month.
🏛️ JPMorgan Says the CLARITY Act Is Almost Done

JPMorgan Chase reported this week that the CLARITY Act — the long-awaited legislation to establish formal rules for the American crypto market, is down to its last two or three disputed items. A senior policy official confirmed the number of disagreements dropped from roughly a dozen. The stablecoin rewards debate, a sticking point for months, is reportedly resolved.
The CLARITY Act matters because clear rules mean more institutional capital can move without legal exposure. The advice layer, wealth managers, pension funds, family offices, has been waiting on exactly this.
From a dozen disagreements to two. The rules are almost written.

VIDEO OF THE WEEK
Is Bitcoin’s financial singularity already unfolding? In this episode of Truth Block, Hurley breaks down why inflation, sovereign stress, banking adoption, capital flight, and collapsing trust in legacy systems may all be converging into Bitcoin’s biggest structural moment yet. From Iran and Michael Saylor to big banks, real estate, and monetary debasement, this is a macro Bitcoin thesis about where capital goes when the old system stops making sense.
