Is Robert Kiyosaki just a smooth talker? Can we still take his statements on bitcoin seriously? The famous author of Rich Dad Poor Dad has built its notoriety on a relentless accumulation of “hard” assets. However, his last message on X is perplexing. He suddenly speaks of pause, of partial sales, of patient waiting for a new low. The crypto-sphere is stirring. Does the guru really respect his own lessons or is he playing a double game that is more calculated than it seems?
In brief
- Kiyosaki sold bitcoin and gold to avoid capital gains taxes.
- He says he stopped bitcoin at $6,000, gold at $300, silver at $60.
- He is waiting for new lows before resuming his crypto purchases.
- Despite the controversy, he still points to the US debt and the dollar as the main danger.
Kiyosaki unmasked: he charged high… and is now selling bitcoin
On February 6, 2026, Robert Kiyosaki published a tweet that had the effect of a cold shower. He says he stopped buying bitcoin at $6,000, gold at $300, and silver at $60. He even admits to having sold some of his bitcoins and gold, while explaining that he hates paying taxes on capital gains. Today, he is patiently waiting for new bottoms.
However, a few weeks earlier, he still claimed that he continued to buy despite very high prices. The shift is brutal. The X community reacted within a few hours. Community notes immediately point out the contradictions. Kiyosaki defends himself by emphasizing his “strike price” rather than the purchase dates.
But screenshots are circulating. It accumulated during the rise. He's taking profits now.
Here are his exact words:
As I posted on X earlier. I stopped buying silver at $60. I stopped buying bitcoin at $6000. I stopped buying gold at $300. I sold some of my bitcoins and gold. I hate selling because I hate paying capital gains taxes… Today I'm patiently waiting for new bottoms in gold and bitcoin, then maybe I can buy back.
This fiscal discipline is surprising for someone who advocated infinite accumulation. The crypto market is wondering: does the Rich Dad really apply his rules?
The crypto-sphere in turmoil: Is Kiyosaki dodging his own bitcoin lesson?
The controversy grew very quickly. Kiyosaki responds to the accusers by turning the question around: “ How much bitcoin do you own? How many buildings? How many oil wells? “. He refuses to be judged by the dates and defends that only the price of entry counts. Yet his own publications from January 2026 show that he was still buying when bitcoin was very high. He constantly recalls his maxim:
The profit is made on the purchase… not on the sale. Lesson from Rich Dad: Pigs get fat…pigs end up in the slaughterhouse.
He uses it to justify his current patience. But the facts tell a different story: He charged during the rally, he sold some recently, and now he's waiting for a real crash to come back. Some crypto investors defend it: it’s intelligent tax management.
Others see it as a glaring inconsistency. The debate divides the crypto-sphere. Above all, it reveals one thing: even the most iconic figures can falter when the crypto market spotlight shines on their actions.
Bitcoin in correction: is Kiyosaki watching for the perfect moment to buy back?
Behind the noise, the underlying message remains the same. Kiyosaki insists that the real threat comes from the American debt, the Fed and “fake dollars”. He still sees bitcoin as insurance against the collapse of the fiat system. He says he has enough ethereum for now. He sets future targets: silver at $74, gold at $4,000. And he is waiting for the next bitcoin low.
As of February 1, he explained that he had cash ready to buy “on sale” after the fall. His philosophy hasn't changed: the rich buy when everyone else is panicking.
Kiyosakihad already said clearly January 23 on X: It doesn't matter if gold, silver or bitcoin goes up or down, he doesn't care at all. For what ? Because he knows that the national debt of the United States continues to increase and that the purchasing power of the American dollar is melting like snow in the sun. That's all. No fuss. No panic about today's prices. Just a cold conviction: the real enemy is the crumbling greenback. And as long as it continues, he stays on his line: accumulate, wait, ignore the noise.
The core of his vision holds strong. Only timing divides crypto traders.
The highlights of this bitcoin/crypto sequence
- BTC price: $70,143 at the time of writing;
- Kiyosaki sold some of his bitcoins and gold to finance his new house;
- He did not sell any silver and is holding on to his Ethereum positions;
- His next target for silver is set at $74;
- He is still waiting for a new bitcoin bottom before buying back massively.
For some observers, the current correction in bitcoin is not temporary at all. The queen of cryptos appears to be sinking deep into a lasting downtrend. Signs of capitulation are missing. Technical supports give way one after the other. The risk of a prolonged descent increases significantly.
