An estimated 3,627,106 Muslims in Iran own cryptocurrency, holding approximately $13.5B in crypto overall, including approximately $12.3B in Bitcoin — all modeled estimates, not direct measurements.
Muslim population: Pew Research Center, Global Religious Landscape (2020 estimates, projected). Crypto adoption: Triple-A, Global Crypto Ownership Report (2023-2024 estimates). Limited/lower-confidence survey coverage due to sanctions and capital controls. Value estimates apply a single global average value per holder uniformly to every country (see methodology) — they scale with holder count, not local wealth. Last updated 2026-07-22.

No survey of crypto ownership by religion exists. Read the full methodology →
