Crypto Ownership and Bitcoin ETF Interest in a 2024 Voter Poll

Article Paradigm research
Read the original

Summary

This poll report examines crypto ownership, Bitcoin spot ETF interest, and crypto policy attitudes among 1,000 registered US voters surveyed online from February 28 to March 4, 2024. It reports differences by party, age, race and ethnicity, education, and crypto holdings. The findings include reported crypto ownership and use, amounts held, ETF investment intentions, and stated trust in political parties on crypto issues.

The report also compares intended presidential votes among crypto owners with the overall electorate, suggesting that this group could matter in a close election. Its evidence is a single survey, with a stated margin of error of 3.5%; subgroup estimates may be less precise. The sponsoring organization uses the results to argue for greater policy attention, so the claims about electoral influence and why voters hold crypto should be read as interpretation, not demonstrated causation. The poll describes attitudes at one point in time and does not measure trading behavior, investment performance, or future voter choices.

Key ideas

  • The poll reports that 19% of registered voters had bought crypto, with reported ownership varying across demographic groups.
  • Some respondents reported substantial crypto holdings, while the report also compares crypto ownership with stock ownership.
  • Respondents expressed interest in Bitcoin spot ETFs, including both existing investment and possible future investment.
  • Many voters said they trusted neither major party on crypto, according to the survey.
  • The report suggests crypto owners could be electorally influential, but voting intentions in a single poll do not establish future outcomes.
