What Are These Billionaire Investors Afraid Of? (Stansberry Research)
Billionaires Warren Buffett, Stanley Druckenmiller, George Soros, and David Tepper have all sold off massive U.S. stock positions, including shares of Nvidia, Apple, and Bank of America. Billionaire Ray Dalio, who runs one of the world’s most successful hedge funds, says, “Things are going to get worse for our economy.” What are these billionaires so worried about?

With 2025 just weeks away, it’s time to invest like a billionaire.
Between 2015 and 2024, according to the 10th Annual UBS Billionaire Ambitions report, billionaire wealth increased by about 121% to $14 trillion, collectively.
Now, as those billionaires head into the new year, here’s where they say they’ll invest.
Real Estate
At the moment, real estate is showing the most interest from billionaires, especially with interest rates coming down. In fact, 19% of the UBS survey participants say they will significantly increase their exposure to real estate, “with 33% of billionaires investing in real estate in the Americas; 27% in the Asia-Pacific region; and 10% in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa,” as noted by the survey.
Gold and Precious Metals
Survey participants also said they would increase exposure to rare metals, which are often used to hedge volatility. “This could reflect fears of heightened geopolitical risk and equity market valuations,” according to the survey.
Bitcoin ETFs
Billionaires are also jumping into Bitcoin ETFs like the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT).
That includes Israel Englander, who picked up about 10.9 million shares of the ETF. David Shaw’s DE Shaw bought 2.6 million shares. Steven Cohen’s Point72 bought 1.7 million. All of which could be wildly successful investments – especially with calls for Bitcoin to test $200,000.
After that, analysts including Cathie Wood says Bitcoin could run to $1 million by 2030, which could send the IBIT ETF screaming higher. Bernstein analysts say it could hit $1 million by 2033. Even tech heavyweights like Michael Saylor says it could happen.
Again, all of which could benefit the IBIT ETF.
