Welcome to the modern American ethos: independence, innovation, and a robust Bitcoin wallet.
A recent report by River Financial reveals that Americans now control nearly 40% of all bitcoin worldwide. So how did this come to be?
Easy Access
Bitcoin is remarkably accessible in the U.S. Regulatory support for numerous Bitcoin platforms means almost anyone—with an internet connection and some extra cash—can own it without needing accreditation or special credentials.
A Culture of Opportunity
America’s traditions of entrepreneurship, self-directed investment, and financial freedom have positioned it as a natural leader in Bitcoin adoption. Today, nearly 50 million Americans hold Bitcoin, more than any other developed nation. This ownership spans demographic and socioeconomic lines.

Legislative Support
In 2025, Bitcoin boasts impressive backing in Washington, with 66% of the House and 59% of the Senate supporting pro-Bitcoin legislation. Meanwhile, 36 states have floated bills favoring Bitcoin, and some are exploring holding BTC in their treasuries.
Mining Expansion
Since China’s mining ban, the U.S. has stepped up. American miners produce about 38% of all new bitcoin. States like Texas and North Dakota have attracted mining investments due to their cheap energy, generating over $30 billion in capital influx and creating more than 20,000 jobs.
Institutional Involvement
Following the 2024 Bitcoin ETF launch, major Wall Street players—BlackRock, Fidelity, and TIAA—have poured in, resulting in $31 billion in U.S. institutional Bitcoin ETF holdings, representing 79% of global ETF assets.
Venture Capital Surge
American entrepreneurs now dominate Bitcoin venture funding, accounting for nearly 70% of investments in the space. Firms like Lightning Ventures and Ego Death Capital are fueling startups—Strike, Fold, River, Swan—that are shaping the future of Bitcoin infrastructure and user adoption.
A Cautionary Note
Despite its enthusiasm, America’s embrace of Bitcoin comes with risk. With 50 million crypto holders, the U.S. is now a prime target for hackers. High-profile breaches—even at major exchanges—serve as stark warnings.
