Iran and Israel spent over $25 billion in the "12-day war", accounting for 1% of the total Bitcoin supply.

According to the report from the digital tool Opportunity Cost, the conflict between Iran and Israel has caused a loss of approximately $25.5 billion, which translates to over 240,837 Bitcoins at the current Bitcoin price.

According to the platform's analysis, each "Arrow" interceptor missile launched by Israel is worth approximately $3 million, equivalent to about 28.3 Bitcoin, while each missile launched by Iran is valued at around $2 million, equivalent to about 18.9 Bitcoin. During the nearly two-week ongoing exchange of fire, Israel launches between 50 to 100 interceptor missiles each night to counter Iran's numerical superiority.

According to the platform, Israel launched "Arrow" interceptors worth approximately $3 million (about 28.3 Bitcoin) each to counter Iranian missiles valued at around $2 million (about 18.9 Bitcoin) each. This exchange of fire lasted for nearly two weeks, occurring every night, during which Israel fired a total of 50 to 100 of these high-tech interceptors.

Iran has adopted a quantity-based strategy, launching over 400 ballistic missiles and more than 1,000 drones, with the cost of its offensive weapons amounting to approximately 7,554 Bitcoins. Additionally, as part of its broader missile defense strategy, Israel's spending on Arrow interceptors has reached at least 2,124 Bitcoins.

To prevent the escalation of the conflict, the United States also participated in this conflict through an airstrike operation codenamed "Midnight Hammer." The mission deployed seven stealth bombers to drop bunker buster bombs, with each attack estimated to cost 30.2 Bitcoins, roughly equivalent to 3.2 million USD. In just one night, the total cost of the standoff increased by approximately 9,442 Bitcoins.

As the smoke clears, this 12-day conflict comes to an end, but the cost is staggering. This Middle Eastern conflict (the military actions of Iran, Israel, and the United States) has been like a resource meat grinder, consuming approximately 240,837 Bitcoin, which accounts for about 1% of the total Bitcoin supply.

In summary, this conflict is not only a military contest but also an economic war of attrition, and it highlights that even digital currencies find it difficult to remain unaffected in the face of geopolitical turmoil.
