Gallup Survey Reveals 14% of Americans Own Crypto

A Gallup survey in June 2025 reveals 14% of American adults own cryptocurrency, with minimal interest in further investment, reflecting prevailing views of digital assets as speculative.

Ownership is primarily among young men and high-income groups, while mainstream adoption and public trust remain limited despite new legislative efforts.

14% of U.S. Adults Report Crypto Ownership

According to a Gallup survey, only 14% of American adults own cryptocurrency, with few planning to buy. This marks a slow increase in ownership from previous years. Men under 50 show the highest ownership at 25%, followed closely by college graduates and high-income earners.

Despite legislative support, such as the Genius and Clarity Acts, public skepticism prevails, with just 4% planning to invest soon. Demographics reveal younger men and conservatives are more inclined towards crypto ownership. Older adults remain more resistant to entering this market.

Market reactions remain muted, with no significant comments from key figures like Brian Armstrong or Changpeng Zhao. Gallup tweeted, “Roughly one in seven U.S. adults, 14%, report owning cryptocurrency today, with few others intending to buy it soon.”
