Robert Kiyosaki ramps up bitcoin buying amid market turmoil, warning a historic stock market crash is imminent and positioning the cryptocurrency as a superior hedge to gold as the dollar faces mounting pressure.
Rich Dad Poor Dad author and bestselling personal finance writer Robert Kiyosaki shared on social media platform X on Feb. 20 that he is increasing his bitcoin holdings during market weakness while reiterating warnings of a historic stock market crash.
He wrote:
“Although bitcoin is crashing I bought one more whole bitcoin for $67K.”
Explaining his rationale, Kiyosaki said: “Because the Big Print will begin when the US debt crashes the dollar and ‘The Marxist Fed’ begins printing trillions in fake dollars.” The famous author also pointed to bitcoin’s supply cap, stating: “The magical 21 millionth bitcoin is getting close to being mined. When the 21st millionth bitcoin is mined, bitcoin becomes better than gold.” As of writing, BTC is trading at $68,605.
The disclosure came shortly after the acclaimed author stated that he had stopped buying bitcoin at $6,000, along with gold at $300 and silver at $60. That claim drew scrutiny because he had previously outlined purchases of the same assets at significantly higher price levels. Market observers highlighted the apparent inconsistency between the $6,000 stop-buy assertion and his more recent posts describing continued accumulation at substantially elevated prices.
Kiyosaki has long cautioned that what he describes as the “biggest stock market crash in history” has arrived, a prediction he originally outlined in his 2013 book Rich Dad’s Prophecy. Referring to that publication, he shared on Feb. 16: “I am warning you: In Rich Dad’s Prophecy, published in 2013, I warned of the biggest stock market crash in history still coming.” He stressed:
“That giant crash is now imminent.”
He attributes the downturn to what he calls a “debt economy” and a “Marxist Federal Reserve,” projecting a “Greater Depression” fueled by the “Everything Bubble” bursting and pressuring traditional stocks, bonds, 401(k)s, and pensions.
“For those who are not prepared, the coming crash will be your worst nightmare. I am excited and can’t wait for the coming giant crash. I have my real gold, silver, ethereum, and bitcoin,” Kiyosaki noted. He further remarked, “No fake gold, silver, or bitcoin.” Emphasizing his strategy during volatility, he opined:
“I am so bullish on bitcoin I am buying more and more as bitcoin’s price goes down.”
To hedge against the scenario he outlines, Kiyosaki projected 2026 price targets of $250,000 for bitcoin, $27,000 for gold, and $200 for silver, characterizing market turmoil as a potential “fire sale” for prepared investors. Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million coins remains central to its investment thesis, with supporters viewing the asset as a hedge against inflation and currency debasement despite ongoing price volatility tied to macroeconomic trends and investor sentiment. The famous author concluded:
“I will be buying more bitcoin as people panic and sell into the coming crash. This coming crash may make you richer beyond your wildest dreams if you realize crashes are the best of times to get richer.”
He says he is bullish on bitcoin and sees market crashes as opportunities to accumulate more before a historic stock market crash.
He argued that when the 21 millionth bitcoin is mined, bitcoin becomes better than gold due to its fixed supply.
He claims rising U.S. debt and potential money printing will crash the dollar, strengthening bitcoin’s appeal as a hedge.
He says he owns real gold, silver, ethereum, and bitcoin in preparation for the coming crash.
