Americans Want Bitcoin in U.S. Reserves, Survey Reveals Surprising Shift

A new nationwide survey has revealed a surprising shift in American attitudes toward monetary policy and national assets: a majority now favor adding Bitcoin to the country’s reserve holdings.

As skepticism surrounding the long-term strength of the U.S. dollar grows, the idea of diversifying with digital assets is gaining serious traction.

According to findings from The Nakamoto Project, 80% of respondents support the idea of converting a portion of the nation’s gold reserves into Bitcoin. The study, which polled over 3,000 Americans across age, income, and political lines, suggests that public opinion on crypto is evolving far beyond niche internet forums or speculative investors.

Troy Cross, involved with the research, said he was taken aback by the results. “We didn’t expect this level of support. But it’s clear Bitcoin’s appeal cuts across demographic and political boundaries.”

The data also shows that Americans increasingly see cryptocurrency not just as an investment vehicle, but as a serious contender for macroeconomic stability. Digital asset advocate Dennis Porter noted that the enthusiasm isn’t necessarily about abandoning gold—but about adding new tools to the financial toolkit. “People just want diversification. Gold isn’t sacred anymore,” he said.

The timing of this sentiment shift isn’t accidental. With the latest Bitcoin halving rekindling debates about its scarcity and inflation resistance, more Americans are seeing Bitcoin as a legitimate hedge—something that could sit alongside the dollar in the same vaults that once only held precious metals.

This growing momentum reflects more than just curiosity—it points to a deeper reevaluation of what modern financial security looks like. If public sentiment continues to build, the idea of Bitcoin in national reserves may move from a hypothetical talking point to a policy discussion sooner than expected.
