In a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) on Tuesday, Dalio said he thought bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies had "established themselves" over the last 10 years and were interesting "gold-like asset alternatives."
The billionaire hedge-fund manager also noted that cryptocurrencies share similarities and differences to gold and various "limited-supply, mobile (unlike real estate) storeholds of wealth."
Bitcoin "could serve as a diversifier to gold and other such storehold of wealth assets," said Dalio. "The main thing is to have some of these type of assets ... including stocks, in one's portfolio and to diversify among them."

Dalio comments are a deviation from a month ago when he said there are three main problems with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies: a lack of venues accepting digital assets as payment, price volatility and the potential for governments to "outlaw" them.
During the AMA, Dalio also said, when comparing bitcoin to gold, he had a "strong preference" for assets central banks will want to hold and use to exchange value.

Wat u moet weten:
- 2025 is the test-case year for crypto IPOs, but 2026 will be the real verdict, when markets decide if digital asset listings are a durable asset class or just a bull-market trade, says White & Case partner Laura Katherine Mann.
- The 2026 roster skews toward financial infrastructure, regulated exchanges and brokerages, custody and infrastructure providers, and stablecoin payments and treasury platforms.
- A more constructive U.S. regulatory backdrop and rising institutionalization support the IPO window, but Mann says valuation discipline, macro risk and crypto price action will determine how many deals actually make it to market.
