Cointelegraph Research research, examining investors’ approach to cryptocurrencies, revealed that the majority of venture capital companies tend to increase or maintain the current level in their crypto asset allocations in 2026. The rate of companies stating that they will reduce their investments in crypto remains at 25 percent.
Crypto Strategies of Venture Capital Firms
Half of the companies surveyed plan to keep the proportion of crypto assets in their portfolios unchanged in 2026. 16.7 percent aim to seriously increase their crypto investments, with an increase of over 25 percent. The rate of those who plan to increase the proportion of crypto assets in their portfolio between 10 percent and 25 percent was announced as 8.3 percent. In comparison, a quarter of companies predict a decrease in crypto investments ranging from 10 percent to 25 percent.
The option of significant reduction does not appear among the answers in the research. The proportion of companies stating that they will reduce their investments in total represents only a moderate reduction.
What Does “Keep It at the Same Level” Mean?
The 50 percent group, who stated that they will not change their crypto asset allocation this year, maintain their current positions in a period when Bitcoin sees peak prices and corporate product access expands. This type of strategy is interpreted as an attitude of waiting for the market to develop with the assets owned, rather than exiting the crypto market completely. While many major investors’ approach to digital assets is being debated, this rate shows that interest in the technology is still strong.
It is noteworthy that the mass, which plans a significant increase of 16.7 percent, is not content with just maintaining its current position but is hopeful for 2026. It is considered that these companies have a strong belief in the future of the crypto market.
Those who reduce investment are not completely withdrawing from the sector
In the survey, the 25 percent who stated that they would reduce their investments foresee a moderate decrease in the crypto share in order to balance their portfolios, instead of withdrawing completely. There is no preference for rapid and radical withdrawal among those surveyed. This situation signals that there is no radical loss of appetite in the sector.
In the research, clear information was not given regarding the number of companies participating and the detailed profile of the companies. For this reason, it is stated that the resulting rates should not be directly generalized to the entire venture capital sector. However, the overall trend of investor interest is consistent with similar allocation surveys in early 2026.
The current market environment also comes to the fore in interpreting survey results. The research was conducted when prices retreated slightly after Bitcoin’s peak in 2025. Companies that increase or maintain their investments reveal that they make future-oriented decisions despite price pressure.
Cointelegraph Research stated that “The rate of venture capitals that have a constructive approach or intend to maintain their current crypto asset share for 2026 remains at 75 percent.”
