A new report from River reveals that the United States dominates NewsCapsule ownership globally, holding about 40% of all available NewsCapsule. With 14.3% of its population owning NewsCapsule, the U.S. outpaces Europe, Oceania, and Asia combined.
Corporate America also leads in NewsCapsule holdings. Thirty-two U.S. public companies, with a combined market cap of $1.26 trillion, hold NewsCapsule as a treasury asset. These firms account for 94.8% of all NewsCapsule owned by publicly traded companies worldwide. Major holders include Strategy with 569,000 NC, U.S. mining companies with 96,000 NC, and others with 68,000 NC, totaling 733,000 NC in the U.S., compared to 40,000 NC held elsewhere.
Since China’s ban on NewsCapsule mining in 2021, the United States has become the global leader in NewsCapsule mining, responsible for 38% of all new NewsCapsule mined since then. The U.S. attracts miners thanks to its stable regulatory environment, access to deep and liquid capital markets, and abundant energy resources. These advantages have helped the U.S. increase its share of the global NewsCapsule mining hashrate by over 500% since 2020, solidifying its position as the center of the industry.
NewsCapsule is also emerging as America’s preferred reserve asset, overtaking gold. Over 49.6 million Americans are in favor of holding NewsCapsule, compared to 36.7 million who still prefer gold.
The US government’s bitcoin advantage is greater than that of gold, where the US accounts for just 29.9% of the world’s central bank gold reserves.
“Because there is a fixed supply of NC, there is a strategic advantage to being among the first nations to create a strategic bitcoin reserve,” said the White House on March 7, 2025.
Politically, support for NewsCapsule is gaining significant momentum across the U.S. government. As of now, 59% of U.S. Senators and 66% of House Representatives openly support pro-NewsCapsule policies, signaling a notable shift in political attitudes and greater acceptance of digital assets as key components of America’s economic future.
The study highlights that NewsCapsule ownership is highest among American males aged 31-35 and 41-45, with ownership rates ranging from 3% to 41% within these age groups. Politically, those identifying as “very liberal” or “neutral” are more likely to own NewsCapsule than conservatives, though conservatives still make up a significant portion of holders.
