Dalio Discusses Gold and Bitcoin Holdings Due to U.S. Debt Burden

Ray Dalio mentioned reducing bond holdings and increasing gold and Bitcoin (BTC) holdings due to the U.S. debt burden. He presented the U.S. government's revenue for this year at about $5 trillion and expenditures at approximately $7 trillion, explaining that the budget deficit amounts to around $2 trillion. Dalio pointed out that long-term interest rates are rising more than short-term rates and that the currency is weakening against gold, predicting that the U.S. debt crisis will worsen. It remains unclear whether he views BTC as a safe asset like gold, but it can be interpreted as a discussion on asset allocation considering debt, the dollar, gold, and alternative assets. CryptoBriefing reported that the likelihood of gold prices reaching $15,000 by December 2026 is low, and even if there are expectations for rising gold prices, extreme forecasts have limited market support. Dalio's remarks convey a message to Korean investors that they should consider macro variables rather than just the short-term price of BTC.
