Gallup: US Crypto Ownership Falls From 2025 High to 11% of Investors

U.S. cryptocurrency ownership has fallen from last year’s high, according to a Gallup survey released Monday. Eleven percent of U.S. investors now say they own cryptocurrency, down from 17% in 2025, while ownership among U.S. adults overall slipped to 9% from 14% a year earlier.

Ownership Still Tops Earlier Years The latest readings remain well above where Gallup’s trend began. In 2018, just 2% of investors said they owned bitcoin, and the share reached 6% by 2021 before climbing to last year’s peak.

The new results are based on a June 1-15 survey of 2,043 U.S. adults, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points, and a sample of 1,048 investors holding at least $10,000 in investable assets, with a 4-point margin.

Younger Men and Upper-Income Investors Still Lead The decline was broad but sharpest among the groups most likely to hold crypto.
