Four outta five Americans are saying, hey, Uncle Sam, why don’t you swap some of that shiny gold for Bitcoin?
A fresh survey by The Nakamoto Project just dropped, and it’s stirring the pot.
People want the U.S. to diversify its national treasure chest, mixing in some crypto magic with the old-school gold bars.
We, the people
They asked 3,345 people from all walks of life, young, old, rich, regular Joe’s, how much of the U.S. gold reserve should be converted into Bitcoin.
The answer? Most said somewhere between 1% and 30%, with the sweet spot sitting at 10%. Not a crazy gamble, just a sensible slice of the pie.
Now, some skeptics rolled their eyes, thinking, sure, it’s just Bitcoin fanboys talking, but Troy Cross, one of the survey’s brains, shut that down.
He said the data shows Americans aren’t blindly worshipping gold anymore. They’re open to mixing things up, not putting all their eggs in one basket.
Generations
And get this, the younger crowd? They’re all in for bigger Bitcoin bets. Makes sense, right? Millennials and Gen Z grew up with smartphones, memes, and crypto buzz.
Dennis Porter from the Satoshi Action Fund pointed out this survey nails what we’ve been seeing for a while, that Americans just don’t care about gold like they used to. They want smart, diversified investments.
Let’s talk numbers, because the U.S. is sitting on an actual mountain of gold, 8,133 tons worth over $830 billion.
Meanwhile, it holds about 207,189 Bitcoin, which is less than 3% of that gold’s value. Plenty of room to shake things up.
Switch
White House adviser Bo Hines floated a plan to use profits from gold reserves to buy Bitcoin. We’re talking about possibly scooping up a cool 1 million BTC over five years.
This idea vibes with Senator Lummis’ Bitcoin Act of 2025, wanting to bring crypto into the mainstream.
Even Robert F. Kennedy Jr. threw his hat in the ring, suggesting the U.S. should match its gold stash with Bitcoin.
It’s pretty clear that America’s ready to mix the old with the new. Gold’s shiny and all, but Bitcoin? It’s the future knocking on the door. The gold-to-Bitcoin shuffle might just be the next big move in the financial game.
