DIY retirement savers in Australia trim crypto nest eggs by 4%
According to the Australian Taxation Office, cryptocurrency holdings in self-managed super funds (SMSFs) have decreased by about 4% year-on-year, despite a rally in the crypto market. As of June 2025, the total value of crypto in SMSFs was around 3.02 billion AUD (approximately 1.97 billion USD), a decline from 3.12 billion AUD the previous year. This drop is notable considering Bitcoin gained approximately 60% over the same timeframe. Simon Ho from Coinstash suggests the reported figures may underestimate actual holdings since they are based on tax filings that are due in May 2026. Overall, younger Australians, particularly those aged 25 to 34, show growing interest in cryptocurrencies, which may lead to a shift in SMSF holdings in the future as more young people consider retirement investing.
