Global risk desks are recalibrating their dashboards this week after prominent financial commentator and Bitcoin supporter Robert Kiyosaki reiterated his claim that the world is heading toward the “biggest crash in history.” His warning, amplified across markets already dealing with tightening liquidity and geopolitical volatility, has once again triggered fresh debate across traditional finance markets. The central question now circulating through trading floors and digital-asset circles is: if his prediction plays out, what would it mean for Bitcoin’s strategic outlook?
Why Kiyosaki Believes A Major Global Crash Is Approaching
In a post on X, Kiyosaki said the economic collapse he predicted over a decade ago in Rich Dad’s Prophecy is now unfolding. He pointed to simultaneous weakness across the United States, Europe, and Asia as clear evidence that the downturn is spreading globally. A major factor he highlighted is the impact of artificial intelligence on employment, which he believes could accelerate job losses across multiple sectors. According to him, these growing job losses will create additional pressure on both office and residential real estate markets, further deepening the financial strain on workers, businesses, and property markets.
Within this backdrop, Kiyosaki outlined the assets he believes are particularly important to hold during such a historic downturn. He stated that he intends to buy more gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ethereum. While he positioned silver as the safest and most undervalued asset, predicting it could hit $70 in the near term and possibly $200 by 2026, he also made it clear that Bitcoin remains a strategic part of his crisis playbook and long-term financial strategy.
His repeated endorsement of Bitcoin—despite forecasting one of the most severe market declines in modern history—underscores that he views it as a strategic hedge aligned with the structural weaknesses of the current economy. He frames the crash as a wealth-transfer moment that could reward investors who are prepared and positioned with both digital assets and tangible, income-generating investments.
How Bitcoin Fits Into His Broader Wealth Strategy
While Kiyosaki briefly mentioned a recent sale of some of his Bitcoin in another X post, he clarified two key points relevant to understanding his broader positioning on Bitcoin. First, the sale was not an exit from Bitcoin; he remains bullish and intends to continue buying more. Second, the move reflects his long-standing playbook—using gains from one asset class to build or acquire cash-flow–generating businesses.
With this move, Kiyosaki demonstrates how Bitcoin fits into his system: an asset he accumulates during downturns, leverages during upcycles, and reintegrates into his portfolio to drive recurring income. By emphasizing both the severity of the crash and the continued relevance of Bitcoin in his strategy, Kiyosaki positioned the asset as part of the solution rather than part of the problem.
