Hedge Fund Mogul Calls for Bitcoin and Gold as Shields Against Inflation
Billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones, CEO of Tudor Investment Corporation, recently shared his concerns about inflation and its impact on the economy during an interview with CNBC.
He views Bitcoin and gold as crucial assets amid increasing fears of a recession in the United States. In light of rising government spending, Jones is actively investing in both Bitcoin and gold, which he believes will provide a hedge against economic uncertainty.

During the discussion, Jones expressed his worries about the U.S. fiscal situation, emphasizing the urgent need to address spending issues.
He warned that excessive government expenditure could lead to a sell-off in the bond market and rising interest rates, prompting him to steer clear of fixed-income investments and bet against long-term bonds. He raised the possibility of a “Minsky moment,” referring to a sudden collapse in asset prices due to unsustainable financial practices.

Jones criticized fiscal management under both the Trump and Biden administrations, voicing concerns about rising budget deficits and potential inflation. He advocates for a diversified investment strategy, incorporating Bitcoin, gold, and Nasdaq equities to mitigate economic risks.
He reiterated his belief in Bitcoin as a strong inflation hedge, a sentiment he first expressed during a previous CNBC interview in 2020. Jones concluded that the U.S. may be facing unprecedented fiscal challenges, potentially the most severe since World War II, while Bitcoin emerges as a serious contender against gold as a reliable store of value.
