Ray Dalio Recommends 15% Portfolio Allocation to Bitcoin and Gold
Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, recommends investors allocate 15% of their portfolios to bitcoin or gold due to rising risks from U.S. debt and currency devaluation.
Key points from Dalio's remarks:
-
<li He adjusted his previous recommendation of 1–2% in bitcoin, referencing concerns over a “debt doom loop.”
<li The U.S. is projected to issue $12 trillion in new Treasury bonds next year to manage a national debt of $36.7 trillion.
<li A recent Treasury report indicates an expected borrowing of $1 trillion in Q3 and $590 billion in Q4.
<li Dalio considers both bitcoin and gold as effective diversifiers against fiat currency devaluation.
<li He remains skeptical about bitcoin’s viability as a reserve currency due to surveillance issues and potential vulnerabilities in its code.
<li While he owns some bitcoin, he suggests that the ratio of BTC to gold is flexible for investors.
BTC is currently trading over $118,000.
