The escalation of US-Iran tensions around the Strait of Hormuz could become a significant macroeconomic factor for both energy and cryptocurrency markets. While increased volatility is expected in the short term, in the medium term, Bitcoin, in particular, is likely to be discussed more as an alternative store of value against geopolitical risks.

The Institutional Logic Behind BitMine's Ethereum Strategy
BitMine's strategy isn't limited to just buying crypto; the company positions Ethereum as an institutional treasury asset. The key components of the company's ETH strategy are:
1) Long-Term Accumulation
The company accelerated its Ethereum accumulation by increasing its weekly purchases. While the average purchase volume was 45,000–50,000 ETH in previous weeks, this figure exceeded 60,000 ETH in the last week.
2) Staking Revenue
Approximately 3.04 million of BitMine's ETH is used for staking. Thanks to these staking activities, the company is estimated to generate:
approximately $174 million in annual staking revenue,
and this could reach up to $259 million when all assets are staked.
3) Infrastructure Plan in the Ethereum Ecosystem
The company also aims to launch its validator infrastructure called "Made in America Validator Network (MAVAN)" in 2026.
