Key Takeaways
Fidelity led with 71%, followed by BNY at 46% and Goldman Sachs at 45% in Strategy’s new Bitcoin Banking Adoption Index.JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley and Citigroup each scored 43%, despite relying on different combinations of bitcoin-related services.The other listed institutions scored between 13% and 38%, showing uneven adoption across global banking markets.Bank of America, Barclays, and Standard Chartered each scored 28%, with State Street at 27%. Mizuho and Deutsche Bank recorded 22%, MUFG scored 18%, and Lloyd’s reached 17%. SMBC and Royal Bank of Canada shared the lowest score at 13%.
What the Index Still Cannot ShowThe rankings indicate whether capabilities are publicly visible, but they do not measure customer numbers, transaction volumes, assets, revenue or profitability. A service may also be limited to institutional or wealth-management clients, or restricted to particular geographic markets. A high adoption score therefore does not necessarily show how widely each product is available or how extensively customers use it.
