According to the study report, crypto-asset ownership among citizens seems broadly in line with 2023 levels despite the increased international attention the assets received last year. However, the proportion of Danes who own <span>crypto<\/span>\u2014found in a survey of 3,013 citizens aged 15 and older\u2014is slightly lower than the 6% (300,000) reported in a 2024 study by the Danish Ministry of Taxation.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the latest Danmarks Nationalbank survey found <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/lemon-report-latin-america-grew-its-crypto-user-base-3-times-faster-than-the-us\/\">crypto-asset ownership<\/a> is most common among citizens under 40 and gradually declines with age. Around 80% of <span>crypto<\/span> owners hold one of three <span>cryptocurrencies<\/span>: <span>bitcoin<\/span> ( <span>BTC<\/span>), ethereum ( <a href=\"https:\/\/branch.wallet.bitcoin.com\/news-contextual-eth\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ETH<\/a>) or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/xrp\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">XRP<\/a>. On the other hand, only 20% of respondents said they hold <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-are-stablecoins\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">stablecoins<\/a> in their portfolios.<\/p>\n<p>The study also noted that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">crypto<\/a> ownership in the country is much lower than in fellow Scandinavian Norway, where it stood at around 11%. While this difference can be attributed to various factors such as methodological differences or sample selection, the survey findings could reflect a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/jpmorgan-accused-of-silencing-crypto-advocates-with-hidden-de-banking-tactics\/\">historical bias<\/a> against crypto-assets by banks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDanish financial institutions have historically taken a cautious approach to crypto-assets. This is reflected, among other things, in the fact that most Danish institutions have previously not allowed their customers to purchase crypto-assets via their platforms and have discouraged such investments on the grounds that they involve high risk,\u201d the survey report states.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-806560\" title=\"Crypto Ownership in Denmark Flat at 4% Despite Global Hype\" src=\"https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/denmark-2-_nwmk-postfix-.png\" alt=\"Crypto Ownership in Denmark Flat at 4% Despite Global Hype\" width=\"1150\" height=\"832\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/denmark-2-_nwmk-postfix--300x217.png 300w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/denmark-2-_nwmk-postfix--1024x741.png 1024w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/denmark-2-_nwmk-postfix--768x556.png 768w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/denmark-2-_nwmk-postfix-.png 1150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1150px) 100vw, 1150px\"\/><\/p>\n<h2>Valuation and Income Distribution<\/h2>\n<p>In terms of average holdings, the study found most respondents report total crypto-asset holdings with an estimated value below $1,575 (10,000 Danish krone), and only a small share report holdings valued above $7,880.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the value of crypto-assets held by Danish citizens ranged between $472 million and $1.26 billion. Regarding the disparity between lower- and higher-income groups, the report states:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe income distribution shows that crypto-owners are overrepresented in the higher income groups compared with others, and vice versa. The relatively higher income suggests that crypto-owners are more likely to have the financial capacity to invest in high-risk assets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The survey also found most citizens in Denmark trade and hold their crypto-assets through platforms authorized and subject to supervision under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation.
