A recent report by River highlights the growing dominance of Bitcoin in the United States revealing Americans now own nearly 40% of all available Bitcoin globally. Around 14.3% of the US population holds Bitcoin exceeding ownership rates across Europe, Asia and Oceania combined. Additionally 32 major US public companies collectively hold about 733,000 Bitcoins representing 94.8% of corporate Bitcoin holdings worldwide. The leading corporate holder is Strategy which alone controls 569,000 Bitcoins.

Public sentiment in America increasingly favors Bitcoin over traditional assets like gold. Approximately 49.6 million Americans now prefer Bitcoin as a reserve asset compared to 36.7 million who still choose gold. This shift underscores Bitcoin’s growing status as a strategic financial asset among American investors due to its fixed supply and rising value.

Political support for Bitcoin in the US is also rising significantly. Currently 59% of US Senators and 66% of House Representatives openly endorse pro-Bitcoin policies indicating growing governmental acceptance of digital assets as vital to America’s economic future.
