A recent report reveals that the brief but intense conflict between Iran and Israel burned through a staggering $25.5 billion—roughly equivalent to 240,837 Bitcoins at current prices. To put that into perspective, Israel spent about $3 million (or 28.3 BTC) per missile interception. The numbers come from a tool that converts global spending into Bitcoin terms, making the eye-watering costs feel even more surreal.

Editor’s Note: Wars aren’t just devastating in human terms—they’re absurdly expensive, too. Framing these costs in Bitcoin (a currency often associated with speculative wealth) highlights how quickly resources vanish in conflict. It’s a stark reminder that every missile fired isn’t just a geopolitical act but a financial one, with real-world consequences for economies and people.
