A large majority of Americans now favor converting US gold reserves to Bitcoin, according to a new national survey. Conducted by the Nakamoto Project via Qualtrics between February and March 2025, the poll included 3,345 respondents demographically representative of the U.S. population.
80% of participants support the idea of transferring a portion of US gold reserves to Bitcoin, reflecting a major shift in public attitudes toward digital assets. Most suggested converting between 1% and 30%, with the average recommendation settling around 10%.
“People didn’t want to leave the slider at 0% Bitcoin and 100% gold. That’s a major psychological shift,” said Troy Cross, co-founder of the Nakamoto Project.
Younger Generations Push for Bitcoin Over Gold
The study found that the younger the respondent, the stronger the support for converting US gold reserves to Bitcoin. Millennials and Gen Z were especially bullish on digital assets, viewing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins as future-proof alternatives to traditional holdings like gold.
This generational trend underscores a long-term shift in how Americans perceive financial security and national reserves.
White House Reportedly Exploring Bitcoin Accumulation Plan
Sources close to the U.S. administration report that White House advisor Bo Hines is advocating a bold plan: converting part of the US gold reserves to Bitcoin over five years. The strategy involves liquidating selected Federal Reserve gold certificates to acquire up to 1 million BTC.
The initiative echoes Senator Cynthia Lummis’ Bitcoin Act 2025, a bill that proposes officially recognizing Bitcoin as a strategic national asset.
With public backing and growing political interest, the concept of redirecting US gold reserves to Bitcoin may soon become a formal policy discussion.
