Americans Could Invest Up To $40 Billion In Stimulus Funds On Bitcoin

Following the signing of a $1.9 trillion stimulus package into law by US President Joe Biden last week, many Americans are supposed to collect $1,400 checks. According to recent analysis, a substantial portion of these funds may end up in the cryptocurrency sector.

According to a survey published today by Mizuho Securities, 10% of the approximately $400 billion in funds issued directly to US citizens could be used to buy Bitcoin (BTC) and stocks. The Mizuho Financial Group subsidiary interviewed 235 people with an annual household income of less than $150,000. Up to 40% of participants said they would spend direct payments in BTC and stocks, with 61% choosing Bitcoin over equities.

“Bitcoin is the preferred investment choice among check recipients. It comprises nearly 60% of the incremental spend, which may imply $25 billion of incremental spend on Bitcoin from stimulus checks” according to Mizuho analysts Dan Dolev and Ryan Coyne.

On March 11, Biden approved the $1.9 trillion package known as the American Rescue Plan into law. It includes $1,400 benefits for those people making less than $80,000, with dependents counted in the sum for each household — for example, a family of three might expect $4,200. Many Americans have already started obtaining the funds from direct deposit, while some are already waiting for paper checks to arrive in the mail.

This is the third direct payment to that experiencing wage poverty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many Americans received $1,200 direct deposits in April 2020, as well as $600 checks in January, thanks to lawmakers. Regarding the asset's growth to more than $60,000 in 2021, crypto consumers who spent the entire $1,200 in Bitcoin last year could have realized up to $10,000 in returns at the time of publishing.
