Robert Kiyosaki, author of the best-selling personal finance book Rich Dad Poor Dad, has increased his Bitcoin holdings during a market downturn, purchasing one Bitcoin at $67,000 while warning that a historic stock market crash is imminent. The prominent investor shared his move on social media platform X on February 20, 2026, reiterating his long-held bearish view on traditional markets and his bullish stance on hard assets.
Buying the Dip at $67K
“Although Bitcoin is crashing I bought one more whole Bitcoin for $67K,” Kiyosaki wrote. He explained his rationale: “Because the Big Print will begin when the US debt crashes the dollar and ‘The Marxist Fed’ begins printing trillions in fake dollars.” He also highlighted Bitcoin’s supply cap: “The magical 21 millionth Bitcoin is getting close to being mined. When the 21st millionth Bitcoin is mined, Bitcoin becomes better than gold.” At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $68,605.
The disclosure came shortly after Kiyosaki claimed he had stopped buying Bitcoin at $6,000, along with gold at $300 and silver at $60. That statement drew skepticism from market observers who noted inconsistencies with his previous purchases at significantly higher levels. Kiyosaki has long predicted a “biggest stock market crash in history,” a theme he first outlined in his 2013 book Rich Dad’s Prophecy. On February 16, he stressed: “I am warning you: In Rich Dad’s Prophecy, published in 2013, I warned of the biggest stock market crash in history still coming. That giant crash is now imminent.”
Crash Warning: Debt Economy and Fed Printing
Kiyosaki attributes the expected downturn to what he calls a “debt economy” and a “Marxist Federal Reserve.” He projects a “Greater Depression” fueled by the bursting of the “Everything Bubble,” which he says will pressure 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,” he noted. He added, “No fake gold, silver, or Bitcoin.” Emphasizing his strategy, he said: “I am so bullish on Bitcoin I am buying more and more as Bitcoin’s price goes down.”
To hedge against the scenario, Kiyosaki set 2026 price targets: $250,000 for Bitcoin, $27,000 for gold, and $200 for silver. He characterized the market turmoil as a potential “fire sale” for prepared investors, stating: “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.”
Bitcoin vs. Gold: The Supply Cap Argument
Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million coins remains central to its investment thesis. Kiyosaki views the cryptocurrency as a superior hedge against inflation and currency debasement compared to gold, especially as the 21 millionth Bitcoin approaches mining. His stance is consistent with many Bitcoin proponents who see the asset as a store of value in an era of unlimited money printing. Despite ongoing price volatility tied to macroeconomic trends and investor sentiment, Kiyosaki’s conviction appears unwavering.
Market Reaction and Controversy
Kiyosaki’s claim of stopping Bitcoin purchases at $6,000 has been met with skepticism, as earlier posts showed him buying at much higher prices. However, his consistent accumulation during dips continues to attract attention from the crypto community. Bitcoin currently trades around $68,600, with investors watching for the upcoming mining of the 21 millionth coin, an event that could reinforce supply scarcity narratives. Whether Kiyosaki’s warnings prove prophetic or not, his actions underscore a growing belief among some investors that hard assets will outperform fiat currencies in a potential economic crisis.
