Since the escalation of the US-Iran conflict on February 28, 2026, Bitcoin has demonstrated strong resilience and outperformance, rising approximately 7-12% (with reports varying by exact date and source, often around 8-11% as of mid-March) while trading in the $70,000-$74,000 range.
Gold, traditionally viewed as a safe-haven asset, has underperformed significantly, falling roughly 2-5% (or more in some accounts) due to factors like a stronger dollar and shifting investor flows toward risk assets like Bitcoin despite the ongoing conflict.
In contrast, the S&P 500 has declined by about 1-3% over the same period amid broader market risk aversion and volatility triggered by the geopolitical tensions.
