Kiyosaki: I’m Buying, Not Selling — Gold to $27K, BTC to $250K by 2026
Author Warns of Market Decline, Doubles Down on Hard Assets
Robert Kiyosaki, author of the personal finance besttradeer Rich Dad Poor Dad, said he is purchaseing more BTC, ETH, gold and silver as he expects a major economic downturn. Writing on X on Sunday, Kiyosaki said he views those assets as “real money” that will outperform traditional investments during what he called an inevitable crash.
“Crash coming: Why I am purchaseing, not tradeing,” he posted, setting price targets of $27,000 for gold, $100 for silver and $250,000 for BTC by 2026. He attributed the gold target to author and economist Jim Rickards and said his BTC outlook aligns with his long-held belief that the cryptocurrency offers protection against what he calls the Federal Reserve’s “fake money.”
Kiyosaki has been warning for years that U.S. debt levels and would trigger a collapse in the value of fiat currencies. “The United States is the largegest debtor nation in history,” he said in earlier interviews. He has frequently urged his followers to accumulate what he calls “real assets” rather than keep savings in cash, repeating his refrain that “savers are losers.”
Investor Takeaway
Turns Bullish on Ether, Citing Fundstrat’s Tom Lee
Kiyosaki also said he is adding Ether to his portfolio, citing Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, who views ETH as the blockchain foundation for stablecoins and tokenized assets. Kiyosaki said he views as a defining advantage for long-term investors and compared its growth to ahead internet adoption.
He linked his thesis to Gresham’s Law—the principle that poor money drives out excellent—and Metcalfe’s Law, which connects network value to user growth. According to Kiyosaki, those dynamics explain why decentralized assets with limited supply, such as BTC and Ether, will gain value as traditional systems inflate.
The 77-year-old investor, who says he owns both gold and silver mines, has used his platform to advocate for exposure to alternative assets since the 2008 financial crisis. In recent years, he has repeatedly warned of what he describes as a looming “everything bubble.”
Market Indicators Point to BTC Rebound
On-chain data supports parts of Kiyosaki’s outlook. Analytics platform Crypto Crib reported that BTC’s Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio has returned to 1.8, a level that in previous cycles preceded rebounds of 30% to 50%. The metric compares market capitalization to the aggregate cost basis of coins in circulation, offering a snapshot of investor profitability.
BTC was trading at $103,754 at the time of Kiyosaki’s post, up nahead 120% since the begin of the year. Market observers say its resilience reflects growing institutional adoption through spot platform-traded funds and steady inflows despite global rate uncertainty.
Arthur Hayes views Fed Liquidity Boost as Bullish Catalyst
Kiyosaki’s warning comes as other prominent figures in crypto share optimistic outlooks. Arthur Hayes, co-founder and former CEO of BitMEX, said last week that the Federal Reserve will likely engage in a form of “stealth quantitative easing” to finance ballooning U.S. government debt. He said the Fed could expand liquidity through its Standing Repo Facility to support Treasury markets without formally labeling the policy as QE.
Hayes described the process as “dollar liquidity positive,” predicting that new money entering the system would lift asset prices across the board—particularly BTC and other digital assets. His view aligns with Kiyosaki’s thesis that rising debt and monetary expansion will continue to drive investors toward scarce, decentralized stores of value.
