U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a new threat to Iran, stating that at an appropriate time, the U.S. military will be fully prepared to eliminate Iran's remaining forces. According to Odaily, this statement underscores the ongoing tensions between the two nations.

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced plans to secure the Hormuz Strait, stating that the process will take some time. According to Odaily, Trump mentioned that clearing the strait will not be a lengthy task and described recent talks with Iran as 'very friendly.' NATO has expressed willingness to assist in maintaining the security of the Hormuz Strait. Trump believes that many countries will support these efforts, and additional traditional minesweepers are being deployed. The United Kingdom and other nations are also sending minesweepers to aid in this initiative.

US President Trump stated: "We will close the Strait of Hormuz. This will take some time, but clearing the strait won't take too long. The talks with Iran ended 'very amicably,' and NATO is now willing to help maintain security in the Strait of Hormuz. We believe many countries will help us in this regard, and we are also deploying more conventional minesweepers. As far as I know, the UK and other countries are also sending minesweepers."

With the next Bitcoin halving (expected in 2028) approaching, mining companies are facing a more severe operating environment than in 2024. The block reward will further decrease from 3.125 BTC to 1.5625 BTC, while rising energy costs, record-high network hashrate, and tightening capital are further narrowing profit margins. Data shows that mining companies have already entered a phase of deleveraging and cash flow optimization: MARA Holdings sold over 15,000 BTC in March, Riot Platforms sold over 3,700 BTC in the first quarter, Cango sold 2,000 BTC to repay debt, and Bitdeer reduced its BTC holdings to zero in February. Industry insiders point out that miners are shifting from "simple hashrate competition" to "capital and energy management capabilities competition." GoMining CEO Mark Zalan stated that "capital discipline is more important than hashrate expansion"; Cango also stated that operators with large-scale and diversified energy layouts will have a greater survival advantage in the future. Meanwhile, mining companies are restructuring their business models, shifting from single-block reward revenue to a "power + computing infrastructure" model, including participation in grid peak shaving, waste heat utilization, and fulfilling AI computing power demands, among other diversified revenue streams. Furthermore, a clearer regulatory environment is also changing capital flows. The gradual implementation of relevant compliance frameworks in the US and Europe (such as MiCA), coupled with the improvement of ETFs, derivatives, and settlement systems, is driving institutional funds to favor mining companies with long-term power lock-up capabilities and data center infrastructure. Analysts believe that compared to the 2024 cycle, which relied on rising cryptocurrency prices to drive profits, the 2028 halving cycle may favor mining companies with strong asset-liability management, energy security, and comprehensive computing power operation capabilities.

Bitcoin prices plummeted due to the escalating geopolitical tensions. Following US President Trump's announcement of a maritime blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, BTC briefly fell to around $70,900, a 24-hour drop of approximately 2.5%. This followed comments from US Vice President J. D. Vance that US-Iran negotiations had failed to reach an agreement on extending the ceasefire, leading to a cautious market sentiment. Bitcoin prices quickly retreated from above $73,000, which had held for most of Saturday, to around $71,500, and further declined after the blockade announcement. Analysts believe that the changing situation in the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial global energy transport route, has significantly exacerbated market risk aversion, putting pressure on risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.

Garrett Jin, an agent for the 'BTC OG Insider Whale,' expressed skepticism about the prospects of a ceasefire, describing it as a 'sugar-coated poison.' According to BlockBeats, Jin argued that the market is operating under the assumption that a brief ceasefire could lead to lasting peace. However, he believes the likelihood of this outcome is less than 10%. Jin's reasoning is based on the incompatibility between the conditions proposed by Iran and the demands of the United States. He noted that no ceasefire terms have been executed within 24 hours, and historically, conflicts of this magnitude have never been resolved through a two-week pause. Jin suggests that the actual probability of a successful ceasefire is even lower than 10%.
