Armed with a fresh round of stimulus checks, Americans may be ready to shop...for some bitcoin and stocks. A new survey out of Mizuho Securities on Monday estimates that 10%, or nearly $40 billion of the $380 billion in direct stimulus checks, may be used to purchase bitcoin and stocks. Mizuho managing director Dan Dolev and his team surveyed approximately 235 individuals with less than $150,000 of household income. Of that, about 200 said they expect to receive the third round of direct stimulus payments in the coming days.

Bitcoin is expected to account for 60% of the total invested, which could add add as much as 3% to the cryptocurrency's market value, according to Mizuho Securities Managing Director Dan Dolev.

I had previously posted about this. The stimulus can be one of the best things ever to happen for Bitcoin. 10% looks like a conservative number for me, but even that much amount can cause a huge rally in Bitcoin exchange rates and completely disrupt the supply-demand equilibrium currently prevailing in the cryptocurrency market.
