Why Iran Wants Bitcoin For Safe Passage Though The Strait Of Hormuz
Iran is demanding that oil tankers pay a $1-per-barrel toll in Bitcoin to pass safely through the Strait of Hormuz during the current two-week ceasefire with the United States, according to a Financial Times report citing Iranian oil exporters’ union spokesman Hamid Hosseini. The move allows Tehran to monetize its control over the chokepoint — which handles 20% of global oil flows — while bypassing U.S. sanctions that block traditional payment rails. Unlike dollars, yuan or gold, Bitcoin offers neutral, censorship-resistant settlement that cannot be traced or confiscated, validating long-standing Bitcoiner predictions that it functions as sovereign money for sanctioned nations.
