We report on the dynamics of Bitcoin awareness and ownership from 2016 to 2021, using the Bank of Canada's Bitcoin Omnibus Surveys (BTCOS).

We present key findings from the 2021 Bitcoin Omnibus Survey on Canadians’ awareness and ownership of Bitcoin. Most Canadians have heard of Bitcoin, which remains primarily used as an investment. Ownership jumped in 2021, reflecting increased savings during the pandemic and greater availability of user-friendly platforms to buy Bitcoin.2022-10-12T10:00:44+00:00enFive things we learned about Canadian Bitcoin owners in 20212022-10-12Cash in the Pocket, Cash in the Cloud: Cash Holdings of Bitcoin Owners
