Fifteen Institutions Kept Crypto Allocations During 50% Market Retreat
Allocations ranged from 0.5% to 13% of investable assets, with most concentrated between 1% and 2%.
Fifteen large institutions kept their crypto allocations intact during a roughly 50% retreat in the overall crypto market, and some increased their holdings during the downturn.
The period covered the fourth quarter of 2025 through the second quarter of 2026. The institutions allocated between 0.5% and 13% of their investable assets to crypto, with most concentrations ranging from 1% to 2%.
Every institution with crypto exposure held Bitcoin (BTC). Most viewed Bitcoin as a store of value and grouped it with gold as a hedge against the depreciation of fiat currencies.
The first institutional crypto adoption report draws on interviews with investment professionals responsible for crypto allocations at the 15 institutions.
