Robert Kiyosaki, the renowned author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has once again doubled down on his bullish Bitcoin outlook. In a series of posts on social media platform X this week, he predicted that the price of Bitcoin will skyrocket to $350,000 by 2025, calling on investors of all means to act now.
Bitcoin Above $106K: The Genius of Democratic Wealth Building
On Tuesday, Kiyosaki noted that Bitcoin was holding above $106,000. He pointed out that while the rich continue to accumulate wealth, fewer than one in eight million people globally can afford to write a $106,000 check. Yet, he argued, that does not exclude ordinary individuals from benefiting as Bitcoin’s value rises. “That is the genius of Bitcoin,” he wrote. “Even if all a person can afford is 1/2 a satoshi, Bitcoin’s design is Democratic … allowing even people who cannot write $106K checks the same equal opportunity to get richer and richer … as those that can write $106K checks.”
The smallest unit of Bitcoin, a satoshi (or sat), is one hundred-millionth of a single Bitcoin (0.00000001 BTC). Kiyosaki urged his followers to start buying satoshis now: “Do not wait in delay. Start getting richer today. At least start buying satoshis … before sats are also $106K.”
Distrust of Fiat and the Case for Bitcoin
Kiyosaki has long advocated for hard assets like Bitcoin, gold, and silver due to his deep skepticism of fiat currencies, the U.S. government, and the dollar. He believes Bitcoin’s decentralized nature and fixed supply make it an ideal hedge against inflation and currency debasement. His book, Rich Dad Poor Dad, co-authored with Sharon Lechter, has sold over 32 million copies, been translated into 51 languages, and remained on the New York Times Best Seller list for more than six years.
Political Tailwinds: Trump as 'First Bitcoin President'
Kiyosaki also linked his Bitcoin price target to recent political developments. In a post on Wednesday, he praised former President Donald Trump as “the first Bitcoin president” and predicted Bitcoin would reach $350K in 2025. Trump’s recent advocacy for blockchain technology, along with his appointments of a new U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chair and a dedicated crypto czar, have fueled optimism within the crypto community. Kiyosaki concluded: “Bitcoin to $350k in 2025. Own more bitcoin in 2025.”
Despite Bitcoin already trading above $100,000, Kiyosaki sees significant room for growth. He cautioned investors not to hesitate due to high prices, emphasizing that even tiny investments can participate in the wealth-building journey. His bold prediction has sparked discussions across the crypto space, with supporters hailing it as a testament to Bitcoin’s long-term potential and critics dismissing it as overly aggressive.
