In a move that’s rattling the crypto world, Robert Kiyosaki, the famed author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” has sold off his $2.25 million Bitcoin stash. Purchased years ago at just $6,000 per coin and flipped at around $90,000, Kiyosaki is channeling the profits into real-world businesses to build unbreakable cash flow. But don’t count him out of crypto—he’s still wildly bullish on BTC and vows to buy back in.
The Strategic Sell-Off
Kiyosaki revealed the bombshell on X, explaining how he’s pouring the BTC gains into two surgery centers and a billboard company. By February 2026, he projects these investments will pump out $27,500 in tax-free monthly income, padding his already robust real estate empire. It’s classic Kiyosaki: turning assets into passive income streams, straight from the lessons in his iconic book and Cashflow board game.
Bullish on Bitcoin Despite the Dump
Even as Bitcoin plummets over 33% from its all-time high above $126,000, dipping to $80,537 amid massive ETF outflows, Kiyosaki isn’t wavering. “I am still very bullish and optimistic on Bitcoin and will begin acquiring more with my positive cash flow,” he stated. Just weeks ago, he predicted BTC hitting $250,000 by 2026, proving this sale is tactical, not a retreat.
Market Shock and Mixed Reactions
The announcement hit during Bitcoin’s worst drawdown this cycle, sparking despair among investors. Analysts note short-term pain but strong fundamentals. On X, reactions poured in—some called him a fraud for selling while preaching buys, others praised his cash flow focus. One user quipped, “You’ll never buy back the Bitcoin you sold,” highlighting the divide in crypto strategies.
Lessons from the Rich Dad Playbook
Kiyosaki’s transparency defies advice to stay silent amid “sickos” in a world of “fake money and fake teachers.” He challenges followers: “What is your get-rich plan?” As global economies brace for turbulence, his pivot underscores diversifying beyond crypto into tangible, income-generating assets—practicing what he preaches for over 65 years.
