43% of Investors Interested in Bitcoin Are Women: Grayscale Survey

A report published on Dec. 4 by Bitcoin fund operator Grayscale suggests that 43% of investors interested in Bitcoin are women.

"Bitcoin conversations tend to focus on a predominantly male investor audience, and yet data indicates women have a healthy interest in Bitcoin as well."

49.8% of women believe Bitcoin's finite supply could drive demand and price higher as do 49.9% of men.

47% of women compared to just 39% of men think this is the time to buy Bitcoin because they believe the price will only rise.

Among the 43% of investors interested in BTC were women.

In September, she said that Bitcoin is less popular among women because it's seen as a risky investment.

Men more "Confident" in their investments than women.

Women are also more likely to rate themselves as less investment-savvy than men, with 44% percent of women and 22% of men saying they didn't feel confident in investing.

At the same time, women have a more pessimistic outlook on the U.S. economy - with only 46% expecting positive development - while 57% of men were optimistic.

While the report suggests that interest in Bitcoin is nearly equally split between men and women, other sources indicate that much fewer women invest in Bitcoin than men overall.
