  • One-third of Americans' wealth now tied to stock market, Fed data shows
    June 4, 2026, 1:45 PM EDT. A record one-third of U.S. household wealth was invested in stocks at the end of 2025, according to Federal Reserve data. Americans held $67.77 trillion in equities, representing nearly 33% of total assets, surpassing peaks from 2021 and the 2000 dot-com boom. The AI-driven bull market boosted household portfolios by $10.31 trillion in 2025 alone. However, stock ownership is highly concentrated: the richest 10% hold 87% of stock-market wealth. This divide has led to a "K-shaped" economy with wealthy Americans benefiting disproportionately while many lower-income households face financial strain. Experts warn a sharp downturn could erase trillions in paper wealth, impacting spending and the broader economy.
