Map shows where 67 million U.S. crypto holders live by county

An interactive map published recently breaks the national total of 67 million U.S. cryptocurrency holders down to the county level. The online tool displays estimated counts of holders for each county and highlights local differences within states.

The map includes a searchable geographic display with counties shaded by estimated holder totals and numeric labels for each county. Users can zoom to compare urban, suburban and rural areas and locate specific counties quickly.

The map’s documentation states the estimates combine public records, aggregated survey responses and market data. The authors applied statistical allocation methods to scale county estimates to the national total of 67 million and provide methodological notes on the process.

The documentation cautions that county estimates are subject to uncertainty, particularly in counties with small populations or limited data, and directs users to treat the numbers as estimates rather than exact counts.

Researchers, policymakers and businesses can use the county view to inform local consumer education, taxation and licensing decisions and to plan outreach about digital-asset risks. Local officials in some counties used earlier versions of the data to assess whether consumer protection efforts reach residents who use digital assets.

The dataset shows holders are present across the country but are unevenly distributed. Larger metropolitan counties account for sizable shares of holders in several states, while many smaller and rural counties report lower estimated counts. The map enables cross-county comparisons that state-level data can mask.

The map and dataset are publicly accessible online. The authors plan periodic updates as new information and improved methods become available and encourage users to review the documentation before using the estimates for planning.
