A new survey from the National Cryptocurrency Association points to strong conviction among U.S. crypto holders, with 90% saying they plan to buy more Bitcoin or other digital assets in the future.
The findings, shared by Bitcoin Archive, also show that crypto ownership is spreading across a wider age range than in previous years.
One of the more notable data points is that 28% of crypto users are now aged 55 or older. The association says that share has doubled since 2020, indicating that adoption is no longer concentrated mainly among younger investors.
The survey also points to growing practical use of digital assets. Around 27 million people in North America reportedly use crypto for remittances, showing that usage extends beyond trading and speculation.
Crypto Ownership Is Becoming Broader
The 90% figure stands out because it measures future purchase intent among existing holders, not just current ownership.

That does not guarantee those investors will actually increase their exposure, but it does indicate that most respondents still see value in holding Bitcoin or accumulating crypto.
The age data is also important.
Older users have historically represented a smaller share of crypto adoption, so the increase among people aged 55 and above may reflect improving familiarity with digital assets, easier access through regulated platforms and growing institutional acceptance.
At the same time, remittance usage shows another side of the market.
For many users, crypto is being used as a payments tool rather than solely as an investment.
The survey therefore paints a broader picture of U.S. and North American adoption: existing holders remain willing to buy more, older demographics are becoming more involved, and real-world use cases such as cross-border transfers continue to expand.
