Fidelity Says Over 25% of Big Institutions Own Bitcoin
« back to all news stories
Fidelity surveyed 774 "large institutional investors" and found that over 25% reported that they hold bitcoin.
Tom Jessop, President of Fidelity Digital Assets, noted: “Europe is perhaps more supportive and accommodating.....[that could] be just things going on in Europe right now, you got negative interest rates in many countries. Bitcoin may look more attractive because there are other assets that aren’t paying return.”
Are we missing a recent story that makes the case for bitcoin?
Tell us about it!
tldr
We would like to see how the survey was constructed, as these numbers seem high. While it's clear institutional involvement has been accelerating, we are very surprised to see 25% ownership of bitcoin. In any event, the report indicates further legitimization for institutional ownership of bitcoin following Paul Tudor Jones' bullish macro letter identifying bitcoin as the best way to play coming inflationary macro pressures.
