There is no reliable official number showing exactly what percentage of Americans own Apple stock directly.

About 62% of U.S. adults own stocks in some form, including individual stocks, mutual funds, and retirement accounts. Apple is one of the most widely held U.S. companies, but we cannot say that a specific percentage of Americans own AAPL.

Some private surveys suggest a significant share of investors have owned Apple, but these surveys are not representative of the entire U.S. population.

So, the safest answer is: Apple has millions of American investors, but the exact percentage of Americans who own Apple stock is not publicly known.

Overall Stock Ownership: According to Gallup surveys, approximately 61% to 62% of U.S. adults own stock in some form (including individual stocks, 401(k) plans, IRAs, mutual funds, and ETFs).

Indirect Ownership via Index Funds & ETFs: Because Apple is one of the largest weighted components in major U.S. index funds—such as the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq-100—nearly every American with a broad-market index fund, pension, or 401(k) holds an indirect stake in Apple stock.

Individual Shareholder Base: Retail/individual investors directly account for roughly 30% to 35% of Apple's total shares outstanding, while major financial institutions (like Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street) hold the remaining ~65% on behalf of mutual funds, ETFs, and institutional clients.
