Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, doubled down on his long-standing bullish stance on Bitcoin on Aug. 22, saying financially savvy investors should use scarce assets to shield wealth from inflation and a weakening dollar. He reiterated recommendations for Bitcoin, gold, silver and select real estate — and warned followers “don’t be a loser,” arguing that financial ignorance costs more than education. Kiyosaki framed the U.S. Treasury’s recent decision to expand long-dated bond buybacks as another round of quantitative easing and “printing fake $,” but that characterization is rhetorical rather than technical. The Treasury’s Aug. 19 announcement increases the per-operation cap on liquidity-support buybacks for nominal 10–20 and 20–30 year securities from $2 billion to at least $4 billion beginning Sept. 9 through Nov. 4. That program is a debt-management tool intended to support liquidity in longer-dated Treasuries; it is not the Federal Reserve’s large-scale asset-purchase program, which is the formal definition of quantitative easing. Market moves following the announcement gave Kiyosaki fresh ammunition. Bitcoin rallied above $79,000 before pulling back to about $76,000 on Aug. 23, after jumping more than 20% during the prior week. The surge was driven initially by falling long-term bond yields, a softer U.S. dollar and forced short-liquidations; U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs later added tangible buying pressure, reporting approximately $1.92 billion in net inflows across five sessions. Those flows, alongside the liquidity backdrop, support a link between market expectations and BTC’s recent upswing — but they do not prove that Treasury operations will cause sustained inflation or a permanent dollar decline. Kiyosaki’s comments should be read as opinion. He claims financially educated people protect purchasing power with appreciating assets, while cash holders lose out — a valid point for long-term inflation hedging, but one that overlooks why many investors retain cash (liquidity, emergency funds, short-term obligations). He’s also acknowledged Bitcoin’s volatility, previously warning against buying into hype during Bitcoin’s May correction — a caveat that undercuts any suggestion BTC is a guaranteed safe haven. On track records and behavior: Kiyosaki has repeatedly issued aggressive BTC price targets — in June 2024 he forecast $350,000 by Aug. 25, 2024 (a target that did not materialize) and later floated $500,000 and $1 million projections without publishing valuation models to support them. He has also sold Bitcoin while remaining publicly bullish; as reported, he sold $2.25 million in BTC in November 2025 at roughly $90,000 per coin and redeployed proceeds into surgery centers and a billboard business. What’s next for the market? The immediate question is whether spot demand — from ETF flows and long-term buyers — can sustain prices once the short-covering squeeze eases. The Treasury’s higher buyback limits take effect Sept. 9, offering a clear date to monitor any sustained impact on long-term yields, dollar strength and broader risk assets.
