This suggests that crypto ownership is no longer just about investment and is now a political identity.
Despite their growing influence, Bitcoin owners remain skeptical of government oversight.
According to the poll, only 29% of Bitcoiners express strong trust in federal regulators to manage digital assets fairly, which is slightly more than the 12% of the general public who share that trust.
Meanwhile, 33% of voters do not trust federal regulation of crypto, revealing a significant trust gap between policymakers and the crypto community.
The mistrust presents a significant challenge for policymakers, as most voters are either unaware of or unclear about the impact of some proposed pro-crypto legislation.
To bridge this divide, lawmakers may need to do more than simply propose policy and may need to invest in educating the electorate.
So, as the 2026 midterms approach, engaging Bitcoin voters could prove crucial for candidates hoping to ride the next wave of political momentum.
