Bitcoin Dominates Crypto Portfolios in 2025, Fueled by Regulatory Shifts and Institutional Demand

Bitcoin now represents roughly one-third of the average cryptocurrency investor’s portfolio, according to a new report from Bybit. The leading asset’s share has climbed to 30.95% as of May 2025—up from 25.4% in November 2024—making it the largest single holding in crypto portfolios.

The surge in Bitcoin allocation is attributed to two key factors:

  • More favorable US crypto regulations, encouraging innovation and adoption.
  • Growing institutional demand, spurred by the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs.

Meanwhile, the Ether-to-Bitcoin holding ratio hit a 2025 low of 0.15 in late April before rebounding to 0.27. This suggests that for every $1 in Ether holdings, investors now hold about $4 worth of Bitcoin—a stark shift in portfolio preference.

Bitcoin’s appeal has also been reinforced by its strong performance across global markets. Following Donald Trump’s inauguration, Bitcoin outpaced traditional assets—including stocks, bonds, and precious metals—solidifying its role as a high-potential portfolio diversifier, as reported by Cointelegraph in March 2025.
