Bitcoin is holding around the $78,000 level, showing resilience even as the first U.S. strikes against Iran in weeks sent oil prices higher and stocks lower. The cryptocurrency has gained over 24% in August, marking its best monthly performance since November 2024. Brent crude jumped above $90 per barrel following the strikes, adding to inflation concerns after Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's hawkish Jackson Hole speech lifted the probability of a September rate increase to 58%.
