Bridgewater's Ray Dalio: Advises Investors to Allocate 15% of Assets to Bitcoin or Gold

BlockBeats News, July 29th, according to CoinDesk's report, Ray Dalio, the founder of Bridgewater Associates, recently urged investors to allocate 15% of their portfolio to Bitcoin or gold, citing the increasing debt burden in the United States and the risks posed by long-term currency devaluation.

Dalio said on the "Master Investor" podcast: "If you want to optimize the risk-return ratio of your portfolio, then about 15% of your funds should be allocated to gold or Bitcoin."

This view represents a significant shift from his 2022 recommendation of only a 1–2% Bitcoin allocation, reflecting his growing concern about the so-called "debt crisis loop." He pointed out that the U.S. is expected to add $12 trillion in new national debt issuance in the next year to address the current $36.7 trillion national debt.
