An estimated 13,449,261 Muslims in Nigeria own cryptocurrency, holding approximately $50.1B in crypto overall, including approximately $45.4B 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). Nigeria consistently ranks among the highest crypto ownership rates worldwide. 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 →
