## **New Report: 60% of Small Businesses Use AI, Eye Cryptocurrency**

On August 18, 2025, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce published the fourth edition of [Empowering Small Business](https://www.uschamber.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/u-s-chambers-latest-empowering-small-business-report-shows-majority-of-businesses-in-all-50-states-are-embracing-ai): The Impact of Technology on U.S. Small Business found that nearly 60% of small businesses use AI.

**The Details:**

-   The report shows 58% of small businesses use generative AI, up from 40% in 2024 and double 2023’s rate, with 96% planning to adopt emerging technologies like AI and cryptocurrencies.
-   77% of AI-using businesses say limits on the technology would hurt growth and operations, while 82% reported workforce increases last year.
-   Jordan Crenshaw, Senior Vice President of the Chamber’s Technology Engagement Center, said, “A fragmented regulatory landscape will significantly hinder their ability to compete… policymakers need a single national framework.”
-   Hrag Kalebjian of Henry’s House of Coffee noted, “AI has been a game-changer… streamlining tasks like product descriptions and marketing emails.”
-   The study also found 70% of small business owners are interested in cryptocurrency and stablecoins.
