Robert Kiyosaki Accelerates Bitcoin Buying Amid Fears of Global Economic Crisis
The author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" continues to affirm his strong belief in Bitcoin, gold and silver as he predicts a serious recession is coming.
The famous author Robert Kiyosaki, the man behind the classic book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, has just shared on the X platform that he is significantly increasing his Bitcoin and real asset portfolio. According to him, the US Federal Reserve's expansionary monetary policies are creating "fake money", and only gold, silver and Bitcoin can protect assets from the collapse of the financial system.
💬 Bold prediction: Bitcoin to reach $250,000 by 2026
Kiyosaki projects that Bitcoin could reach $250,000, while gold reaches $27,000 and silver rises to $100/oz within the next two years. He believes the true value of these assets will be revealed when “confidence in the US dollar collapses”.
The financial educator also said that his gold price forecast is based on economist Jim Rickards, while his belief in Bitcoin comes from seeing the cryptocurrency as a global inflation hedge.
“Savings are losing value every day. Cash holders will be the losers in the new economic cycle,” Kiyosaki emphasized.
📊 Signs of on-chain recovery reinforce confidence
According to analytics platform Crypto Crib, Bitcoin’s MVRV has returned to 1.8 – a level that appeared before strong price increases of 30–50% in the past. This shows that new bullish momentum is forming, even though the market has just gone through a deep correction.
In addition, data from Nasdaq recorded a 119% increase in Bitcoin in 2024, from $42,000 to over $92,000. Institutional capital inflows through Bitcoin ETFs have played a key role in this growth, ushering in a new accumulation phase for long-term investors.
🏦 ETFs and the change in how institutions hold Bitcoin
Since the approval of the spot Bitcoin ETF in early 2024, funds such as iShares Bitcoin Trust (BlackRock) and ARK 21Shares have attracted billions of dollars in inflows. According to statistics, Bitcoin ETFs currently account for more than 6.7% of BTC's global market capitalization, with more than 172 public companies directly holding the asset.
This makes Bitcoin investment more legitimate and accessible than ever, laying the foundation for widespread adoption in the 2025–2026 period.
⚠️ Some caveats remain
Despite the positive trend, analysts like Galaxy Digital remain cautious, adjusting their year-end BTC price target to $120,000, citing concerns about whale allocations and the pace of absorption by treasury firms.
However, Arthur Hayes, former CEO of BitMEX, believes the Fed’s implicit quantitative easing policy will continue to drive inflows into risk assets, particularly Bitcoin – which is considered “digital gold” amid escalating US debt.
🔍 Summary
Robert Kiyosaki is proving he’s not just a forecaster – he’s a man who acts on his financial convictions.
When he “bought” Bitcoin despite market fears, many investors saw it as a strong signal of a new growth cycle for cryptocurrencies.
“When the financial system is shaky, only real assets provide safe haven.” – Robert Kiyosaki
