According to The Block, macro investor and hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones stated in an interview on the podcast "Invest Like the Best" that btc-42">Bitcoin is "the undisputed best inflation hedge." He pointed out that the total supply of Bitcoin is capped at 21 million, with less than 1 million left to mine, and combined with its decentralized nature, its scarcity far exceeds that of gold (which sees an annual supply increase of about 2%).

Jones began investing in Bitcoin as early as 2020 to hedge against the risks of central banks overprinting money, and the following year expressed a desire to increase his allocation to 5%. However, he also highlighted potential risks, including "kinetic conflicts" involving cyber warfare that could lead to electronic system failures, as well as security threats posed by breakthroughs in quantum computing technology.
