A new report from the digital asset manager CoinShares suggests a massive transfer of wealth is set to benefit Bitcoin.

According to the firm, about $68.4 trillion in wealth owned by baby boomers and the silent generation will be handed down to Millennials and Generation X over the next 25 years. And Millennials investing habits appear to be quite different than their forefathers.

CoinShares highlights a survey from Blockchain Capital that shows significant portion of respondentswould rather own Bitcoin than government bonds, stocks, real estate and gold.

The institutional asset manager Grayscale also points to the huge shift in wealth as a potential boon for BTC.

The firm says its impossible to tell just how much capital may flow into Bitcoin, but managing director Michael Sonnenshein says he believes theres no doubt the leading cryptocurrency is resonating with a millennial audience.

A separate study from Charles Schwab found Millennials are choosing to buy Grayscales Bitcoin-backed trust (GBTC), over Netflix, Disney, Microsoft and Warren Buffetts Berkshire Hathaway.
