Europeans Now Own a Massive Share of U.S. Stocks
European investors now hold a record $10.9 trillion worth of U.S. equities, making up over 50% of all foreign ownership in the American stock market — a level that highlights how global capital is deeply tied to U.S. assets.
Key Facts:
European holdings of U.S. stocks hit $10.9T (all-time high)
Total foreign ownership stands at $21.3T
The entire U.S. stock market is valued around $70T
8 European countries hold $4.7T, equal to 43% of total European exposure
Foreign ownership has surged by +$13T since the 2020 crisis
Expert Insight:
This level of concentration shows how global wealth is increasingly dependent on U.S. market stability. Any major shock to U.S. equities would now have direct ripple effects across Europe, amplifying systemic risk — and reinforcing why investors are also watching alternatives like gold and crypto.
