A survey by Cointelegraph Research shows that 75% of venture capital (VC) funds plan to maintain or increase their cryptocurrency holdings in 2026 compared to 2025, while 25% expect a slight decrease.
Specifically, 50% of funds plan to keep their allocation unchanged. About 16.7% expect a significant increase (over 25%), and 8.3% anticipate a moderate rise (10–25%). Conversely, 25% plan to reduce their holdings moderately (10–25%), and no funds forecast a major cut.
The data indicates that the trend of maintaining or expanding exposure to cryptocurrencies remains dominant. Notably, holding steady despite Bitcoin reaching its all-time high in 2025 reflects a continued stance of holding rather than retreating.
However, the survey does not specify the sample size, so the figures are for reference. Overall, institutional investment appetite for cryptocurrencies remains stable, leaning more toward accumulation than divestment.
