Ray Dalio says investors should own ‘a bit of Bitcoin’ as U.S. debt risks rise

Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio said investors should own "a bit of Bitcoin" as rising U.S. debt risks increase the likelihood of dollar weakness and potential sovereign credit stress. He framed BTC as a limited-supply, non-sovereign store of value that can serve as a hedge against fiat debasement and default risk. Dalio still advocates only a small allocation due to volatility and unknowns, but his endorsement boosts mainstream legitimacy and could encourage incremental institutional demand and price support for Bitcoin.
