Quotes that support the claim

About 14% of voters currently own crypto, while 12% have previously owned crypto, with crypto ownership being the highest in Montana. Of the states surveyed, Ohio voters are more negative towards crypto.

Current crypto ownership among voters is relatively low (14%), and most do not feel knowledgeable about crypto (69%). About one-fifth of votersplan to own crypto in the next six months

The data suggests that as many as 47 million people may be holding digital assets, if 14% of the wider U.S. population also own crypto, which is a lot of voters to contend with.
