Cash in the pocket, cash in the cloud : cash holdings of bitcoin owners / by Daniela Balutel, Christopher Henry, Kim P. Huynh and Marcel C. Voia.: FB3-5/2022-26E-PDF

"We estimate the effect of Bitcoin ownership on the level of cash holdings of Canadian consumers. Bitcoin ownership positively correlates with cash holdings even after accounting for selection into ownership via a control function approach. On average, Bitcoin owners hold 83 percent (in 2018) to 95 percent (in 2017) more cash than non-owners"--Abstract.
