Bitcoin was the fastest asset in history to reach $1T and $2T.
It took just 12 years to hit $1T and 15 years to $2T.
It outpaced Apple, Google, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Amazon.

Hormuz just made Bitcoin easier to understand.
A $1 per barrel toll on pre-war Hormuz flows would generate about $20 million a day.
At current prices, that is about 281 BTC.
Bitcoin only issues 450 new BTC a day.
If stablecoins can be frozen by the U.S., then neutral settlement matters.
Bitcoin is the obvious candidate.
So one geopolitical chokepoint could theoretically absorb about 62% of all new Bitcoin supply.
Scarcity matters more as the world gets more fragmented.
🇮🇷 Iran is charging $2M per ship to cross the Strait of Hormuz and they want it in Bitcoin. 😳
At $72,000 per $BTC, each ship = 27.7 BTC.
Pre-crisis, 130 ships crossed daily.
• Daily: 3,611 BTC
• Monthly: 108,333 BTC
• Yearly: 1.3 million BTC
The entire Bitcoin network only mines 450 BTC per day.
Iran would accumulate 8x the monthly mining supply. Every month.
A sanctioned nation building a Bitcoin treasury through a toll booth.
This is the most important geopolitical Bitcoin story nobody is talking about. 🔥
🚨UPDATE: CLARITY ACT FINAL TEXT EXPECTED THIS WEEK ON STABLECOIN YIELD
U.S. senators are preparing to release a revised draft. According to reporter Eleanor Terrett (@EleanorTerrett), the text could drop this week.
The update will focus on stablecoin yield compromise terms. Lawmakers aim to balance innovation with banking stability.
Per reports, work continues behind the scenes despite the Easter recess.
MASSIVE:
🇺🇸 The CLARITY Act is done. Lummis confirmed it.
Text dropping next week.
DeFi protected. Stablecoin yield unlocked. Institutional barriers gone.
Years of regulatory uncertainty.
Ended. Next week.
The countdown is no longer months.
It's days.
Can the Straight of Hormuz even be closed?
Iran no longer has any ships or boats in the area. Their ability to communicate with each other is mostly eliminated. Their leadership is all dead.
Iranian missile or drone teams probably have no idea when a ship is even moving through the Straight of Hormuz right now.
