The McKinsey Global Institute’s Global Balance Sheet 2026 report reveals that global households accumulated $40 trillion in wealth in 2025, bringing total net worth to $570 trillion. This 7.3% increase surpassed the 5.9% average annual growth rate observed since 2000. Approximately 58 to 60% of this wealth creation stemmed from rising asset prices rather than real capital formation.

Notably, the report makes no mention of crypto, Bitcoin, or digital assets whatsoever.
