伊朗半官方法爾斯通訊社援引伊朗經濟暨財政事務部文件報導，伊朗已推出一項由比特幣支撐的航運保險服務，專供欲通行荷姆茲海峽的航運企業使用。

該服務名為「荷姆茲安全」（Hormuz Safe），伊朗政府預估可為國家帶來超過100億美元收益，惟未說明時間範圍，亦未公開營運細節。

自美國與以色列於2月28日對伊朗發動空襲後，伊朗實質上封鎖荷姆茲海峽。該水道為全球能源供應與貨物運輸的關鍵通道。此後，伊朗政府與伊朗伊斯蘭革命衛隊持續推動將航道控制制度化，包含徵收通行費與各項規費，而此保險服務或成為另一項籌資工具。

Iran’s semi‑official Fars News Agency, citing documents obtained from Iran’s Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance, reported that Iran has launched a Bitcoin‑backed shipping insurance service for shipping companies seeking passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

Dubbed “Hormuz Safe”, the service is projected by the Iranian government to generate more than USD 10 billion in revenue for the country, though no specific time frame or operational details were disclosed.

Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz since the United States and Israel launched airstrikes against Iran on February 28. The waterway is a vital artery for global energy supplies and other cargo shipments. Since then, the Iranian government and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have sought to institutionalize control over the strait, including imposing tolls and other fees, and the insurance service may serve as an additional fundraising measure.
