Bitcoin Ownership Surpasses Gold in the U.S.

Published by

About 50 million Americans now reportedly own Bitcoin, surpassing about 37M who hold gold, despite Bitcoin’s short 16-year history versus gold’s 5,000-year legacy. The trend aligns with Paris Blockchain Week 2026 at the Carrousel du Louvre, which has drawn over 20,000 participants and focused on institutional adoption of digital assets. Industry voices, including Blockstream’s Adam Back, described Bitcoin as core financial infrastructure, while French officials signaled growing openness to regulated crypto markets and blockchain-based finance.
