Bitcoin just crossed $80,000 as investors worry the dollar and U.S. government debt are losing credibility — and even Ray Dalio is telling people to own some Bitcoin. The companies that hold huge Bitcoin stashes on their balance sheets are turning profitable again and their stocks are moving faster than Bitcoin itself.

## Idea

Bitcoin's push above $80,000 is being driven by a 'debasement trade' — investors buying hard assets because they distrust government finances, a thesis Ray Dalio just publicly endorsed. Companies like Michael Saylor's Strategy hold billions in Bitcoin and were underwater during the bear market, but the rally has pushed them back into profit, which restores the core of their investment case. These proxy stocks have historically amplified Bitcoin's moves, rising 3-5% on days Bitcoin makes a new leg up. If the debt-worry narrative keeps pushing Bitcoin higher, the leveraged holders should outgain Bitcoin itself.
