Jim Cramer Urges Investors to ’Own’ Bitcoin and Ethereum as Ultimate Hedge Against US Debt Crisis

Wall Street's lightning rod just struck crypto. Jim Cramer—the CNBC host who flip-flops on markets more than a short-term trader—has a new bullish thesis: Bitcoin and Ethereum are must-haves as the US debt spiral accelerates.

From Skeptic to Believer (Again)

Cramer’s latest pivot isn’t subtle. He’s ditching his usual boomer-safe stock picks and pushing digital assets as the 'only sane hedge' against Treasury recklessness. Funny how trillion-dollar deficits suddenly make crypto look rational.

The Real Play

Forget gold or T-bills. Cramer’s betting the Fed’s money printer will keep BTC and ETH demand red-hot. And let’s be honest—when even TV pundits fear the dollar’s collapse, maybe it’s time to listen. Or at least stack sats before the next CPI print.

One thing’s clear: When Wall Street starts preaching crypto, it’s either the top… or the new floor. Place your bets.

Cramer Continues Support for Bitcoin and Ethereum Investing

Cramer previously revealed that he had invested in Bitcoin on his show “Mad Money” earlier this year. “If you want to own bitcoin, (you) own bitcoin,” Cramer said in response to a caller during a January episode. “I own bitcoin, you should own bitcoin. Bitcoin is a great thing to have in your portfolio.” The market is responding mixed to Cramer’s Bitcoin support, with many acknowledging Cramer’s history of being a signal of reverse sentiment. Cramer has become a meme of sorts when it comes to predicting the opposite outcome of what actually happens around an asset. For BTC, the coin is already down 1% today after rallying 15% in the last month.

Bitcoin and Ethereum have now become leading world assets. Thanks to several pro-crypto regulations being passed in 2025, institutional interest in the crypto industry is at an all-time high, with prices also climbing to near-record levels. BTC surpassed $120,000 for the first time this Summer, while Ethereum is nearing $4,000 for the first time since 2021. While it may be hard for some people to invest such a high amount directly, many experts like Cramer suggest exploring digital assets as the US continues an uncertain battle with national debt.
