Strategy: Global Bitcoin Banking Adoption Index Rises to 34%, BTC Custody and Lending Services Continue to Expand

Odaily reports that Strategy stated its "Bitcoin Banking Adoption Index" rose to 34% in the third quarter of 2026, indicating that major global banks' adoption of Bitcoin and digital asset-related services continues to increase, though the overall level remains at an early stage. Among them, Fidelity ranked first at 77%, JPMorgan Chase at 47%, and BNY at 46%.

Strategy noted that the index increase this quarter was mainly driven by several developments, including expanded access to Bitcoin ETF/ETP products, growth in institutional custody services, and the development of lending businesses using BTC as collateral. Meanwhile, advancements in stablecoins and asset tokenization also contributed to the index increase. As traditional financial institutions gradually explore digital asset infrastructure, Bitcoin-related services are extending from investment products to custody, financing, and financial application scenarios.
