script: (for the click for cash)

local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local remoteData = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):WaitForChild("RemoteData")


local cooldown = .5

replicatedStorage.Remotes.Lift.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)

    if not remoteData:FindFirstChild(player.Name) then return "NoFolder" end

    local debounce = remoteData[player.Name].Debounce

    if not debounce.Value then
        debounce.Value = true

        player.leaderstats.Strength.Value = player.leaderstats.Strength.Value + 1 * (player.leaderstats.Rebirths.Value + 1)

        wait(cooldown)

    --Varibles--
    --Script--
    Cash.Value = Cash.Value + Strength.Value
    Strength.Value = 0
end)

The issue is you are trying to set your strength locally using a local script. Think of it this way:

The server is the father where all the information is stored (points, money etc.) and each client is a child of the father. If a child decides to pick up more sweets than the father has given him, how is the father meant to know and how are all the other clients meant to know?

You need to remember LocalScript = Client and Script = Server. With this knowledge, use remotes to tell the server (or father if you prefer this analogy) that they are selling and make the change to the leaderboard through the server script.

tl;dr You cannot make changes which everyone sees from a LocalScript. Use a remote to communicate with the server. Example script below:

Client

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local SellRemote = ReplicatedStorage.SellRemote

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	SellRemote:FireServer()
end)

Server

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local SellRemote = ReplicatedStorage.SellRemote

SellRemote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function (plr)
	if plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Strength.Value > 1 then 
		local Cash = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Cash
		local Strength = plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats").Strength
		
		Cash.Value = Cash.Value + Strength.Value
		Strength.Value = 0
	end
end)
