Thank you for your request.
Unfortunately, we do not hold the analysis you have requested.
A data collection exercise for crypto currency information via our Wealth and Assets Survey (WAS) commenced in April 2022 and is due to complete in March 2024.
We have plans to produce publications using information collected from this round of the WAS in early 2026.
The Bank of England (BoE) may be better placed to assist with this request. They can be contacted via email at enquiries@bankofengland.co.uk.
