Kiyosaki Eyes a 2026 Crash, Signals Bitcoin Accumulation After BTC Sales
Robert Kiyosaki says a broader economic downturn and a potential “biggest crash” could come in 2026, but he is positioning around “real assets” rather than traditional finance. Speaking on X on March 27, he urged investors to avoid assets he says are “printed” by governments, banks, or Wall Street, and cited references such as Edgar Cayce and Nostradamus.
Kiyosaki’s long-running plan rejects S&P 500 stocks, U.S. bonds, mutual funds, and ETFs. Instead, he targets assets he believes can’t be created at will, including oil, real estate, silver, and crypto—especially Bitcoin (and Ethereum).
New detail: in late 2025 he disclosed selling about $2.25M worth of Bitcoin in November, around $90,000 per BTC, after earlier buying near $6,000. He said the proceeds funded cash flow and other businesses, not a full exit from crypto. In this week’s posts, he then signaled a return to accumulation ahead of a possible 2026 crash, claiming he is buying Bitcoin rather than selling and still holds his initial BTC.
For crypto traders: the mix of selective Bitcoin selling for liquidity and a stated shift back to Bitcoin accumulation may keep retail sentiment anchored to a “buy the dip” narrative, which could cushion downside in the near term—though the crash framing remains a risk for volatility.
Neutral
Kiyosaki’s message is bearish on the macro outlook (a potential 2026 crash), which can raise risk sentiment and increase short-term volatility. However, the new disclosed action—selling a portion of Bitcoin in late 2025 for cash flow—does not mean a full de-risking. His subsequent posts emphasize buying Bitcoin again and continuing to hold his initial BTC position. For Bitcoin specifically, that stated re-accumulation is more supportive for sentiment than a pure sell signal. Net impact: likely neutral, with downside volatility risk from the crash narrative partly offset by “buy the dip” accumulation behavior.
