The Dutch central bank (DNB) published its first-ever official data on bitcoin and crypto ownership in the Netherlands.
Dutch households held €3.2 billion through domestic providers as of June 2026. Bitcoin dominates at €1.5 billion, nearly half the total, followed by Ethereum at €300 million. Stablecoins make up less than 1% of holdings.
For context, that €3.2 billion is only about 1.4% of the €234 billion Dutch households hold in traditional securities.
The real total is likely higher since holdings with foreign providers and self-custody aren't counted.
