Ray Dalio Increases Bitcoin Portfolio Recommendation to 15% Amid US Debt Concerns

Institutional interest in Bitcoin persists despite recent price fluctuations, with billionaire Ray Dalio advocating for a 15% portfolio allocation to Bitcoin and gold due to increasing US national debt.

Dalio Increases Bitcoin Allocation

Ray Dalio previously recommended a 1-2% exposure to Bitcoin in 2022. He now suggests 15%, driven by concerns over the “debt loom loop” in the US economy. Key points include:

The US national debt exceeds $37 trillion.
Dalio noted a projected $12 trillion in new Treasury issuance over the next year, impacting capital flows into Bitcoin.
Bitcoin has risen 27% this year.
Dalio holds some Bitcoin but emphasizes individual investor discretion regarding asset mix.

Market Accumulation Trends

Accumulation is evident within the $110K–$117K price range as buyers enter on dips and previous holders increase their positions. This behavior indicates a staircase-like pattern in cost basis distribution.

Institutional purchases continue, with firms like Metaplanet actively buying Bitcoin. Current market sentiment remains cautiously optimistic, particularly following the resolution of concerns surrounding Trump tariffs.
