Only 4% of the world's population owns bitcoin, but there's huge potential for growth

Bitcoin (BTC) is becoming increasingly popular, but only a small number of people actually own it, suggesting that there is great potential for future growth.
On the 9th (local time), a research report from Bitcoin financial services company River revealed that only 4% of the world's population uses Bitcoin.
The country with the highest percentage is the United States, where it is estimated that approximately 14% of its citizens own Bitcoin.
North America is the continent with the highest Bitcoin adoption rate, both among individuals and institutions.
Africa had the lowest adoption rate at 1.6%. Overall, Bitcoin adoption rates tend to be higher in developed countries than in developing countries. Bitcoin is currently at only about 3% of its maximum adoption potential.
To arrive at the 3% figure, the group estimated that 100% of Bitcoin users, including governments, corporations and institutions, are using bitcoin to buy and sell cryptocurrencies, meaning that global adoption is still in its early stages.
We analyzed the entire potential market and took into account the low proportion of institutional investment and limited individual ownership.
