Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the main investment focus for the world’s largest family offices, while cryptocurrencies remain a niche choice, according to new research from JPMorgan Private Bank.

The 2026 Global Family Office Report surveyed 333 single-family offices across 30 countries between May and July 2025.

Among them, 65% said they were investing in, or planning to invest in, AI-related opportunities. Only 17% viewed digital assets, such as crypto, as a major investment area.

Most family offices have little to no involvement in crypto. The report shows that 89% have no holdings in digital assets, and the global average allocation to this industry is just 0.4%. Exposure to Bitcoin BTC $75,941.21 is even smaller at 0.2%.

Gold, long seen as a safe haven, has also lost appeal, 72% of respondents said they hold none. The report noted that despite global tensions, family offices are avoiding both gold and crypto, suggesting limited interest in traditional or new hedges.

Private equity remains the top choice for future investments. Around 37% of those surveyed plan to increase their exposure over the next year or so.

The participants were primarily based in the United States, which accounted for 59% of the total sample. Others were located across Europe, Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin might finally see movement after weeks of trading flat if the US Federal Reserve steps in to support Japan’s bond market, according to BitMEX $766.31K founder Arthur Hayes. What did he say? Read the full story.
