Robert Kiyosaki Cautions Of Economic Crash, Says Bitcoin Part Of His Safe Strategy

Some investors include Bitcoin in their broader investment strategies, although its price can be highly volatile. In a recent post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, said he is preparing for the biggest stock and bond market crash in history and is investing in Bitcoin, gold and silver as a safe hedge.

Kiyosaki said the crash has started in Europe and Japan and was spreading across the world. He attributed the situation to several factors, including the frenzy in artificial intelligence (AI), the war in Iran, high debt, and the retirement of the Baby Boomer generation.

Along with Bitcoin, gold and silver, Kiyosaki said his approach also includes personal business, income-producing real estate and investments in oil-producing wells.

Kiyosaki Cautions Of Global Market Crash

In his post, Kiyosaki said the market crash he had cautioned about for years had now started in 2026. He said the situation began in Europe and Japan and was spreading across the world. He has linked the expected downturn to multiple factors, including the AI frenzy, the war in Iran, high levels of debt, and the retirement of the Baby Boomer generation.

Kiyosaki cautioned that people with retirement accounts such as 401(k), IRA, Superannuation and RRSPs could be exposed to the impact of a major market downturn, particularly those aged 40 years and above.

He referred to the Great Depression, saying the downturn from 1929 to 1954 lasted 25 years. Kiyosaki added that people who were prepared during that period were able to benefit from the difficult economic conditions.

Why Bitcoin Is Part Of His Strategy

Kiyosaki said he has been preparing for a financial crisis for years. He said he prefers assets such as gold, silver and Bitcoin over cash, arguing that he expects the government to increase printing of money as a response to an economic downturn.

“Saving not cash. But gold, silver, and Bitcoin,” Kiyosaki said in the post.

He also listed personal business, income-producing real estate and investments in oil-producing wells among the areas he uses as part of his financial strategy.
