Ray Dalio says to buy ‘a bit’ of Bitcoin amid potential debt crisis
Extrait:Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, urged investors to hold gold and "a bit of Bitcoin" to hedge against a looming US debt crisis. In a Friday LinkedIn post, he suggested allocating 10% to 15% of portfolios to gold to reduce risk, and favored gold and Bitcoin over debt assets like bonds, citing internal political and external geopolitical conflicts. He predicted a debt crisis within three years, give or take two, unless the current course changes. Dalio, worth over $15 billion, previously argued Bitcoin couldn't replace gold and raised privacy and quantum-computing concerns, but his comments echoed July 2025 remarks when he held some Bitcoin and recommended up to 15% in crypto and gold. In 2022, he called 1% to 2% BTC holdings "reasonable."
The founder of the Bridgewater Associates hedge fund, Ray Dalio, called on investors to put money into gold and “a bit of Bitcoin” in response to a looming debt crisis.
In a Friday LinkedIn post, Dalio said having between 10% to 15% of ones portfolio in gold could help reduce risk. He advocated for gold and Bitcoin (BTC) as assets to be overweight compared to debt assets like bonds, citing risks from “internal political and external geopolitical conflicts.”
“My guess, which I suppose will be a bad one, is that [a US debt crisis] will come in three years, give or take two, if the course were on is not changed,” said Dalio.
The Bridgewater Associates founder, with an estimated net worth of more than $15 billion, has previously argued that Bitcoin could not replace gold as a store of value and warned about privacy concerns and threats from quantum computing. His Friday comments echoed those from July 2025, when he said he held some, “but not much” Bitcoin, and recommended holding up to 15% in the cryptocurrency and gold.
In 2022, months before a significant crypto market downturn, Dalio said that holding between 1% to 2% of BTC in ones portfolio was “reasonable.”
