This survey shows that 1.9 million people in the UK aka 3.86% of the adult population, own Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptos.

According to the latest reports coming from the Daily Hodl, the number of UK residents who held cryptos at some point in time rose to 2.6 million in 2020 – this is up from 1.5 million last year.

Another important issue to mention is the fact that the knowledge of the crypto industry has also improved – 73% of the population have now heard of crypto compared to just 42% in 2019.

“Technical knowledge appears high among most cryptocurrencies owners. Most consumers seem to understand the risks associated with the lack of protections, the high volatility of the product, and have some understanding of the underlying technology,” according to the report.
