US-Iran 60-Day Ceasefire Extension Report Lifts Bitcoin Above $77,000

Reports of progress toward a US-Iran 60-day ceasefire extension and a potential reopening of the Strait of Hormuz helped lift Bitcoin above $77,000 on improved risk sentiment. CoinGecko data captured around 11:30 UTC on May 24, 2026 showed BTC at $77,101, up 3.2% over 24 hours, after a sharp move that began near 20:00 UTC. Later reporting indicated Iran has not agreed to ship out its highly enriched uranium stockpile, leaving key uncertainty around the durability of the rally.
