Is that true? I don't doubt you, just haven't seen any numbers pointing towards that being true is all. If you have some resources I can check out, I'd be very grateful.

In terms of "Total Market Capitalization", Bitcoin currently sits around ~39%[1], which feels unlikely if "66% still buys mainly Bitcoin". But again, you could be right.

Which assumes both that everyone owning Bitcoin are from the US and that everyone using Bitcoin self-report their ownership.

I can ensure you the number looks very different in reality.

Your assurance, as a cryptocurrency advocate, has less than zero value.
