Iran announces a fee of $2 million for each ship passing through the Strait of Hormuz and requires payment in Bitcoin (BTC).


At a rate of $72k per BTC, the cost per ship is 27.7 BTC.
Before the crisis, 130 ships pass through the Strait of Hormuz daily:
Daily: 3,611 BTC
Monthly: 108,333 BTC
Yearly: 1.3 million BTC
However, the Bitcoin network mines only 450 BTC per day, which means Iran will accumulate eight times the monthly mining supply each month, establishing a Bitcoin treasury through the toll station.
