Interactive Map Shows Distribution of 67 Million U.S. Crypto Holders

An interactive map released by the National Cryptocurrency Association (NCA) provides statistical estimates of where 67 million American cryptocurrency owners live. The map covers all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and the 435 U.S. House districts of the 119th Congress, allowing users to view holder counts at both state and district levels.

State‑Level Distribution

California leads with an estimated 9.5 million holders, followed by Texas (5.94 million), Florida (4.71 million), New York (4.66 million) and Illinois (2.64 million). The regional split mirrors population patterns: the South accounts for 38 % of holders, the West 27 %, and the Midwest and Northeast each 18 %.

Methodology and Confidence

The figures are model‑based estimates, not verified counts. NCA combined a national demographic model—derived from a Harris Poll survey of 10,000 crypto owners conducted Feb‑Mar 2026—with district‑level signals to produce a posterior mean and a 95 % credible interval for each area. For example, California’s estimate ranges from roughly 9.09 million to 9.92 million holders.

Economic Footprint

Separate NCA research, analyzed by the Pragmatic Policy Group, estimates the crypto sector supports 231,845 U.S. jobs, generates $55.4 billion in economic activity and produces $30.8 billion in worker income. Direct crypto positions (about 34,000) are estimated to induce roughly six additional jobs each across various industries.

Bitcoin‑Specific Insight

A July 2026 study estimated 49.6 million Americans hold bitcoin, representing 18.6 % of the adult population. This figure is narrower than the NCA’s broader cryptocurrency estimate.
