Robert Kiyosaki confirmed a recent purchase of a full Bitcoin at approximately $67,000, despite describing the market as being in a 'crash.' The author of Rich Dad Poor Dad announced the acquisition on social media, reaffirming his consistent support for the cryptocurrency. At the time of the transaction, Bitcoin was trading near $68,000.
Kiyosaki attributes his decision to a macroeconomic outlook that anticipates rising U.S. national debt pressuring the dollar, potentially leading to significant money creation by the Federal Reserve. He has long criticized central bank policies and warned of excessive 'money printing.' His strategy involves acquiring Bitcoin during price declines, viewing its scarcity as a hedge against potential currency debasement.
A core tenet of Kiyosaki's Bitcoin advocacy is its finite supply of 21 million coins. He argues this scarcity could make it a superior store of value compared to assets like gold, whose supply is not capped. This scarcity argument is a key reason cited by Bitcoin proponents for its potential as a hedge against inflation.
Kiyosaki has previously projected Bitcoin reaching $250,000 by 2026 and intends to continue accumulating during market downturns. Despite the ongoing debate surrounding his predictions, he remains publicly committed to his Bitcoin investment strategy amidst market volatility.
