Muslim population: Pew Research Center, Global Religious Landscape (2020 estimates, projected). Crypto adoption: Triple-A, Global Crypto Ownership Report (2023-2024 estimates). High adoption is widely attributed to currency depreciation and inflation hedging. 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.

This is a modeled estimate, not measured data.We calculate it by applying each country's overall crypto ownership rate to its Muslim population share, assuming Muslims adopt crypto at the same rate as the general population. No survey of crypto ownership by religion exists. Read the full methodology →
