According to a study, there are more Bitcoin owners than gold owners in the United States

According to data from The Nakamoto Project and Gold IRA Guide, about 50 million Americans own Bitcoin, while 37 million own gold.

The difference is 13 million people. This means that about 35% more people in the United States own Bitcoin than gold. Such a comparison would have been impossible ten years ago, when $BTC was a niche asset owned by a small community of cryptographers and early investors.

Now, after 17 years of existence, more Americans own Bitcoin than gold. This indicates that the leading cryptocurrency is becoming an increasingly popular asset and challenges many theoretical debates about whether $BTC can be considered a legitimate store of value.

However, it is important to note the scale of gold holders. Among them are central banks of different countries, institutional funds, and the wealthiest families in the United States.

This means that the average position size of a gold holder is likely much larger than that of the average Bitcoin holder.

Moreover, in their calculations analysts counted any amount of $BTC held by owners — from a very small fraction of a coin (for example, around $50) to 100 bitcoins or more.
