War and Bitcoin. What Really Happens to BTC When Conflict Breaks Out
War does not simply make Bitcoin go up or down, it depends entirely on the type of conflict, how long it lasts, and what central banks do in response. The Iran war of early 2026 sent Bitcoin crashing from $70,000 to below $63,000 within hours before recovering toward $75,000 weeks later as the narrative shifted. The honest answer is that war is neither reliably bullish nor bearish for Bitcoin, it is a stress test that reveals exactly what kind of asset Bitcoin is at that moment in time.
