Bitcoin's price has surged above $81,000, reaching its highest level since January, driven by escalating tensions between the US and Iran around the Strait of Hormuz. This geopolitical instability is pushing investors toward Bitcoin as an alternative financial asset, with market predictions strongly favoring Bitcoin staying above $66,000 in early May.
