Common questions about this slide and the underlying presentation content.
This is the largest survey ever conducted of cryptocurrency holders, with 10,000 current crypto owners identified from a pool of 54,000 respondents. The research was conducted by The Harris Poll in January-February 2025 with a sampling precision of ±1.2 percentage points at 95% confidence level, making it the most comprehensive and statistically robust study of U.S. crypto holders available.
The report reveals surprising diversity: 21% (1 in 5) of American adults own crypto, representing roughly 55 million people. Demographics span all ages (though 67% are under 45, 15% are over 55), income levels (26% earn under $75K annually), and industries (14% technology, 12% construction, 7% finance). Gender split is 67% male, 31% female. Most holders (55%) own less than $10,000 worth, challenging elite investor stereotypes.
Yes, 39% of crypto holders use it to purchase goods and services, with 96% of those doing so at least once per year. Beyond shopping, users send money to family (31%), accept business payments (31%), trade NFTs (32%), and participate in gaming. Looking forward, 52% are most interested in using crypto to invest in their financial future, but significant percentages plan to use it for transfers, gaming, and business transactions.
While 75% express concern about scams and security (with 13% citing it as the top barrier to acquiring more), only 3% of crypto owners reported any negative experiences. Of those few negative experiences, 32% involved fraud or security breaches personally. Meanwhile, 35% listed the security of having decentralized assets as a positive impact on their lives, suggesting concern doesn't match reality.
Overwhelmingly positive: 76% report cryptocurrency has had a positive impact on their lives (46% very positive), with only 3% negative and 21% neutral. Key benefits include increased financial independence (49%), learning opportunities (45%), fun and excitement (45%), sense of achievement (44%), and investment diversification (42%).
81% are interested in learning more about cryptocurrency, with 40% consuming crypto news daily. Top learning priorities include investment strategies (47%), tax implications (39%), blockchain technology (38%), and security measures (38%). They prefer trusted expert sources like YouTube (60%) and traditional media outlets like NYT and WSJ (40%) over peer forums like Reddit (33%) or Discord (22%).
No single barrier dominates. Top obstacles include lack of funds to acquire more (15%), fear of volatility (15%), security concerns (13%), uncertainty about tax implications (10%), lack of businesses accepting crypto (9%), and lack of public understanding (8%). This suggests a broad range of practical concerns rather than one major dealbreaker.
Strong support for balanced approach: 73% want the U.S. to become the global leader in crypto, and 64% believe government regulation is important. However, 67% are concerned about regulations threatening innovation. Holders trust crypto equal to or more than traditional banking (76%) and see it as a way to reduce costs (45%), enhance transparency (44%), and increase transaction speed (44%).
