The number of Canadians who own bitcoin nearly doubled over the course of a year, according to the results of a newly-published survey by the Bank of Canada.
Having conducted a similar survey back in 2016, the analysis found that there was increased interest in bitcoin’s price over the year.
The results further show that ownership among Canadians rose from 2.9 to 5 percent and overall awareness of the cryptocurrency jumped up to 85 percent.
The survey brought together voices from over 2,500 Canadians across the country, with the majority French-speaking province of Quebec seeing the largest increase in awareness of bitcoin.
In addition, the results show a significant improvement in general understanding about bitcoin with the proportion of Canadians believing bitcoin is “government-backed” falling about 40 percent from the previous survey.
