Robert Kiyosaki, remains unfazed by the recent crypto market turmoil, even as Bitcoin and other assets lost billions in value. On January 22, Kiyosaki posted on X that he does not care if Bitcoin, gold, or silver prices fluctuate, emphasizing that continued investment in these assets will protect wealth against the erosion of purchasing power caused by rising U.S. debt.
He points to the U.S. national debt, which increased from $36.19 trillion at the end of 2024 to over $38.40 trillion by the end of 2025, despite promises from political figures to curb spending. The dollar lost 2.68% of its value in the same period. Kiyosaki attributes the problem to what he calls an incompetent but highly educated leadership, controlling the Fed, Treasury, and government.
The author’s stance contrasts sharply with panic among other investors who witnessed the cryptocurrency sector lose roughly $220 billion between January 18 and January 23. Kiyosaki insists that owning cryptocurrencies and precious metals is a safeguard against broader financial instability, arguing that fiat currencies are inherently vulnerable to inflation and systemic risk.
Kiyosaki’s long-term view on wealth preservation
Kiyosaki has long warned that fiat currencies like the USD are losing value, and he expects a global crisis to erase substantial portions of wealth. Despite the predicted recession not yet arriving, his investment advice has historically yielded strong returns for followers.
Gold and silver have experienced rapid growth, with gold rising 78.7% to $4,923 over the past year and silver surging 225% to nearly $99. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, while volatile, are part of Kiyosaki’s strategy to maintain wealth during economic instability.
He advocates combining digital assets, precious metals, and real estate or cash-generating businesses, such as ranches or commercial ventures, to diversify wealth and hedge against currency depreciation. According to Kiyosaki, even sharp price swings are less concerning than the structural risks inherent in government-backed currencies.
