Fidelity Investments CEO Abigail Johnson confirms Bitcoin ownership

Fidelity Investments CEO Abigail Johnson confirmed she personally owns Bitcoin, viewing it as a stable and enduring digital asset despite not holding large amounts.

Johnson called Bitcoin the “gold standard” of the crypto world, playing a meaningful role in the savings hierarchy for many people.

Johnson’s confirmation underscores Bitcoin’s increasing acceptance among traditional finance executives as both a personal investment and an institutional consideration.

Fidelity has been experimenting with crypto technologies, including Bitcoin mining and custody operations, under Johnson’s leadership. The asset management giant, which oversees trillions in client assets, has positioned itself among the more crypto-forward financial institutions.

Bitcoin has gained recognition from financial leaders as a potential store of value, with institutional figures increasingly willing to publicly affirm personal ownership to demonstrate confidence in digital assets as part of broader investment strategies.
