Promote with Leviathan NewsBitwise CIO Matt Hougan argues Bitcoin's total addressable market may exceed the $34 trillion gold market, pointing to Iran's proposed crypto tolls for Strait of Hormuz passage as proof Bitcoin is becoming an apolitical settlement layer — not just digital gold. Hougan previously modeled 17% store-of-value market capture at $1M per BTC, but says if Bitcoin takes on a dual role as currency and store of value, those targets need revision upward. With 1.5M+ BTC now held by corporations and ~11,000 merchants accepting it globally, the currency use case is no longer theoretical.
