A recent survey conducted by the 'Nakamoto Project', which specializes in Bitcoin awareness, revealed that 80% of Americans want to convert part of the U.S. gold reserve into Bitcoin.
A total of 3,345 people participated in the survey, who were asked to specify an appropriate ratio for converting gold to Bitcoin, with the majority preferring ratios between 1% and 30%.
Although the survey included only Bitcoin users, raising some doubts about its representation, the results reflect a notable trend toward diversification.
Troy Cross, co-founder of the project, commented that participants rarely chose a 0% ratio for Bitcoin, preferring an average ratio of about 10%.
As the results showed, support for Bitcoin declined with age, consistent with previous surveys.
Dennis Porter, co-founder of the 'Satoshi Action Fund', indicated that this trend is not surprising, confirming that most Americans do not place much importance on gold and tend to diversify when alternatives are available.
The survey was conducted online between February and mid-March, in collaboration with 'Qualtrics' to ensure demographic balance according to the U.S. population census.
Despite this tendency toward diversification, the study showed that 66% of participants expressed reservations about the idea of a strategic Bitcoin reserve associated with Donald Trump.
Currently, the United States holds about 8,133 tons of gold, valued at over $830 billion, compared to an estimated holding of only 207,189 Bitcoins, which is less than 3% of the value of the gold reserve, opening the door for new diversification strategies.
It is worth mentioning that White House advisor, 'Bo Hines', proposed a plan to buy Bitcoin using profits from the gold reserve, which could lead to a holding of up to one million Bitcoins within five years.
Robert Kennedy Jr. had previously called for aligning the gold reserve with Bitcoin, supporting a more balanced financial strategy.
