Young U.S. investors are more interested in bitcoin investments than they were three years ago, according to a poll stemming from the Gallup Investor Optimism Index. This year\u2019s poll surveyed 1,037 participants and findings suggest 6% of American investors own bitcoin. <\/strong><\/p>\n

American Bitcoin Investors Increase by 4% in 3 Years<\/h2>\n

The American survey and analytics firm Gallup has published new findings from a recent survey<\/a> the company did on bitcoin investing. The firm\u2019s survey called the Gallup Investor Optimism Index explains there is \u201cmore momentum among investors younger than 50.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gallup poll findings on June 2021 stemming from the Gallup Investor Optimism Index.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Gallup\u2019s last report<\/a> had shown that only 2% of investors own bitcoin but in 2021, that metric has increased to 6%. The American adults that participated said they owned roughly $10K in investments like equities and bonds. Further, Gallup\u2019s researchers say that the number of owners increases for younger generations.<\/p>\n

\u201cOwnership is up a more impressive 10 percentage points, to 13%, among investors aged 18 to 49,\u201d Gallup\u2019s latest report notes. \u201cIt remains minimal among investors aged 50 and older; just 3% now say they own it, versus 1% three years ago.\u201d Gallup\u2019s report adds:<\/p>\n

8% of those with less than $100,000 invested and 6% of those with $100,000 or more invested currently own it. Separately, Gallup finds male investors are over three times as active as female investors in the bitcoin market, with 11% of male investors and 3% of female investors now owners.<\/p>\n

Gallup Survey Says Bitcoin Investment \u2018Is More Akin to Gold\u2019<\/h2>\n

Gallup\u2019s study says that bitcoin owners can be compared with mainstream investments like stocks and mutual funds. 84% of those polled invested in either stock or mutual funds while 67% owned individual equities. Researchers note that bitcoin investing is \u201cmore akin to gold\u201d which captures 11% of the investor\u2019s portfolio, while 50% of respondents hold bonds.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Adversity toward bitcoin has softened since the last survey as well, as only 58% said they have zero interest in investing. In 2018, 72% of the polled participants said they have no interest in ever buying bitcoin. Adding to the 6% who already own bitcoin, another 2% said they will likely purchase the crypto asset in the future. 35% of those polled, stressed that they are intrigued by bitcoin but \u201cwon\u2019t be buying it anytime soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gallup\u2019s poll concludes by noting that three years ago, a very small percentage of American investors were interested in bitcoin and a very small fraction owned the crypto asset. Since then, researchers attribute the growth to easier purchasing methods and \u201clarge investments in bitcoin by well-known companies such as Tesla, Square, and Morgan Stanley.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPerhaps, as a result, bitcoin is inching closer to general acceptance among U.S. investors,\u201d Gallup researchers conclude. \u201cParticularly with those under age 50. Not only do 13% of these relatively young investors own it, but their familiarity with it and willingness to buy it have risen to majority levels.\u201d<\/p>\n
