Family offices prefer AI as key investment theme over crypto: JPMorgan

Almost 89% of the family offices polled by JPMorgan report zero crypto exposure, with average allocations to digital assets and Bitcoin remaining well below 1%.

Artificial intelligence has emerged as the dominant investment theme for the world’s largest family offices, while cryptocurrencies continue to attract limited interest, according to a new report from JPMorgan Private Bank.

The bank’s 2026 Global Family Office Report polled 333 single family offices across 30 countries between May and July 2025. It shows that 65% of respondents, or 216 offices, are prioritizing artificial intelligence-related investments either now or in the future. By contrast, just 17% (56 offices) view crypto and digital assets as a key investment theme.

Crypto remained largely absent from family office portfolios. According to the report, 89% of family offices currently have no exposure to cryptocurrencies, while the average global allocation to crypto and digital assets sits at just 0.4%. Exposure to Bitcoin is even smaller, averaging 0.2%, according to the data.
