## Resource

Financial Times reports Iran is increasingly using Bitcoin and Tether to help keep trade flowing during the U.S. war and blockade, putting one of Bitcoin's most important use cases on display under extreme geopolitical pressure. JV breaks down why Bitcoin is becoming strategic infrastructure, how America's roughly 330,000 BTC holdings and Strategic Bitcoin Reserve change the nation-state game theory, and why governments around the world eventually have to confront the cost of owning zero Bitcoin. 📺 Prefer video?
