Robert Kiyosaki, the well-known author of „Rich Dad Poor Dad” and a promoter of financial education, recently made a decision that surprised the cryptocurrency community. In November 2025 he sold about 25 Bitcoins for $2.25 million, at roughly $90,000 per coin. Kiyosaki bought these cryptocurrencies years ago at $6,000 per coin, meaning he booked a huge profit.
Reasons for the sale and new investments
Kiyosaki explained his decision in a post on X (formerly Twitter), stressing that he practises what he preaches. He used the proceeds from the Bitcoin sale to buy two surgical centres and to invest in a billboard advertising company. He estimates these assets will start generating about $27,500 in monthly income as early as February 2026 – and tax-free. This is a classic example of his strategy of building „cash flow” through investments in assets that generate steady income, such as real estate or private businesses.
Despite the sale, Kiyosaki remains optimistic about Bitcoin. He announced that he will start buying cryptocurrency again, using income from his new investments. He stresses that his wealth-building plan is based on the rules of Monopoly, which he played with his „rich dad” – buying assets that produce passive income.
Predictions of a financial crisis
The decision is not accidental – it is tied to his gloomy forecasts for the economy. In another post from 23 November 2025 he warned that the „biggest crash in history” had begun. According to him, artificial intelligence (AI) will cause mass layoffs, leading to a collapse in the office and residential real estate markets. Kiyosaki predicts the crash will hit not only the United States but also Europe and Asia. In light of this, he advises buying gold, silver, Bitcoin and Ethereum, especially silver, which he says could soon reach $70 and even $200 in 2026
These predictions echo his 2013 book „Rich Dad’s Prophecy,” in which he forecast a global crisis. Kiyosaki believes that while millions of people will lose everything, prepared investors may become even richer.
Reactions from the crypto community
News of Kiyosaki’s Bitcoin sale sparked a storm on social media. Many comments criticised the investor. Users mocked: „Some prefer to swap infinite supply for finite supply, others the other way round. Good to know which side he’s on!” Others called him „Robert Bubblesaki” (a reference to a speculative bubble) and predicted he would become a meme, similar to the German government, which sold its Bitcoins too early.
Critics accuse Kiyosaki of having for years predicted financial crashes that never came, and say his decision to sell as Bitcoin fell toward $80,000 is a signal of a market bottom. Still, Kiyosaki is undeterred and encourages people to follow his own „wealth-building plan,” warning against „fake money” and „fake teachers”.
Will Kiyosaki finally get his forecasts right?
Robert Kiyosaki’s decision to sell Bitcoin shows how even staunch crypto supporters diversify their portfolios in the face of uncertainty. His strategy focuses on building steady income, which contrasts with pure speculation on rising asset prices. Will his predictions of an AI-driven crisis come true? We don’t know, and so far there are no signs of it. For investors, it is a reminder not to blindly follow gurus but to build their own financial plan. In a world of market swings, as Kiyosaki says: „Be cautious and learn from mistakes.”
