Strategy reported that its Bitcoin Banking Adoption Index climbed to 34% in the third quarter of 2026, signaling continued expansion of digital asset services among major global banks. Fidelity led the index with a 77% adoption score, followed by JPMorgan Chase at 47% and BNY at 46%, indicating that institutional integration remains in an early stage despite steady progress. The quarterly increase was driven by expanded access to Bitcoin ETFs and ETPs, growing institutional custody offerings, and the emergence of BTC-collateralized lending products. Strategy noted that Bitcoin-related services are extending beyond investment vehicles into custody, financing, and broader financial applications, with additional momentum from stablecoin and asset tokenization developments.
