Bitcoin Remains Resilient Amid US Venezuela Strikes, Experts Say

Key Takeaways

Sentiment: Neutral
Price impact: Neutral. The event was considered planned and has already passed, with little immediate effect on Bitcoin’s price.
Following the US military strikes on Venezuela early Saturday morning, Bitcoin’s price held steady, suggesting that markets are not overly influenced by geopolitical flashpoints in the short term. According to crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe, the attacks, which lasted around 30 minutes, were premeditated and executed as part of a coordinated effort. Therefore, he anticipates that the direct impact on Bitcoin will be minimal, especially since the event has already concluded.
Indeed, Bitcoin’s trading has shown resilience with the digital asset climbing 1.66% over the past 24 hours to trade at approximately $91,290, according to CoinMarketCap. The cryptocurrency has also gained 4.19% over the week, reflecting investor confidence and a degree of stability despite ongoing geopolitical tensions.
In recent history, Bitcoin has experienced sharp declines following escalations in conflicts involving Iran, Israel, Russia, and Ukraine. For example, in June 2025, the cryptocurrency dipped by 2.8%, dropping from $106,042 to $103,053 within 90 minutes after explosions in Tehran, which Israel later claimed responsibility for. Such events typically trigger short-term volatility, but Bitcoin has demonstrated the capacity to remain above key support levels like $90,000.
Crypto analysts such as Tyler Hill and Shagun Makin have emphasized Bitcoin’s robustness, noting that market reactions are often exaggerated during geopolitical uncertainties. Hill remarked that markets tend to rebound or even strengthen when crises appear to subside, while Makin highlighted Bitcoin’s consistent ability to stay resilient amid noise, reaffirming its position as a “store of value” in turbulent times.
